Lamb Chop with Ricotta Cream

effortless yet sophisticated

Lamb is often overlooked – if you ask me. Because of it, I try to come up with new lamb recipes from time to time, just to keep people on their toes. Chicken, pork and beef are so popular that I find that it is nice to work in a great lamb chop. My ricotta cheese recipe is extremely easy!

To make this into a great family meal you can serve this along side my Garlic Mashed Potatoes and easy Asparagus.
