how to cook lamb chops - This recipe for roast lamb chops is actually an idea or even a guideline rather than necessarily a recipe as such. It s a rustic family meal that was probably cooked by many Mama s in outdoor wood ovens in the southern regions of Italy using ingredients they happened to get readily available. For those who have a wood oven by all means utilize it, otherwise for the remainder of us, these roast lamb chops is going to be every bit as good making use of your regular kitchen oven.

My own favourite is utilizing lamb chops as they cook to tender perfection.

INGREDIENTS: (for 4 people)

8 lamb chops 12 -16 small whole potatoes or, several large potatoes cut into wedges 6 cloves of garlic, whole or chop them roughly Rosemary and oregano Salt and pepper to taste A splash of white wine and water - about 50 % a cup of each just to maintain the base moist Four-six chopped fresh tomatoes or about 1 cup bottled tomato puree (don t add a lot of, just enough to include just a little colour and flavour) A small number of grated pecorino cheese A small number of dry breadcrumbs

HERE S The way to ASSEMBLE:

Roughly layer the lamb chops with the potatoes.
Poke the garlic cloves between your lamb and potatoes.
Sprinkle with fresh or dried rosemary and oregano, salt and pepper.
Pour wine and water down one side so as not to wash from the seasoning.
Scatter chopped tomatoes or tomato puree over lamb and potatoes.
Finish with a number of grated pecorino cheese sprinkled over.
Scatter with breadcrumbs to soak up any excess liquid.

Cover baking dish with foil and bake for about an hour or so at 200 Celcius. Remove foil throughout the cooking and bake until it is all totally tender, probably another hour or so.

And that s about as simple as it gets.
