  5. Serve with lime and tomato wedges and mint leaves on the side.
Recipe Notes
  • Tamarind juice adds a tart sweetness to this lamb dish.
  • Lemongrass, galangal, tamarind and Asian sauces may be purchased in Asian markets such as 99 Ranch (in CA, WA, NV & TX), or on-line at melissas.com
  • To "lollipop" lamb chops, trim meat, fat and connective tissues away from bone, leaving only the eye of the chop connected to the bone.
  • To make grill marks, place the chops on hot grill for about a minute. Then rotate them 90-degrees and grill for another minute. Turn the chops over and repeat.
