Lamb Chops With Red Wine and Rosemary Sauce
Here is a recipe I made the other night, from a zaar member. It was not for a swap I just liked the sound of it and it was very good, both myself and my hubby enjoyed this. I made mine with racks of lamb as this is what I had on hand, I cooked them in the oven as a rack for about 25 Min’s at 190c. I then sliced them for presentation purposes and served over spinach with wild rice on the side. If you want to view more of this chef’s recipes please click here.
