I love French Rib Chops as I feel they really dress up a casual meal, they are so elegnant in presentation and tender in taste. I love the combination of the orange zest, garlic and rosemary with the creamiest of the lamb. As well, being grass-fed lamb, there is a nice sweet grassiness that is very pleasant with this combination of herbs.

Not only did I found the quality of the lamb to be outstanding, but I also happen to agree 100% with the company philosophy. Ideally, you want lamb that has been raised sustainably, humanely, and without antibiotics or growth hormones. Ultimately, you want a lamb that gets hugged everyday. And with the nice folks at Lava Lake Ranch you get all of that.

It’s the perfect foundation for this comforting stew made with lamb that not only does a body good, but a swath of nature, too.

Over the years [Lava Lake has] preserved not only hundreds of thousands of acres of unique terrain along the Oregon trail, but they are also producing some of the best grass fed lamb this flavorista has ever had.

Perfectly enough, though, the people at Lava Lake Lamb sent me a piece of top round lamb and right away, I knew I had to make this dish. Now, it’s true that top round is quite a bit more tender (and cooks for less time) than the pieces usually used in this long-cooking dish, but I just had to make it. And it turned out great! Comfort on a plate!

Oh goodness am I excited about this. First there was ground lamb. Secondly I braised lamb shanks. And Thirdly we ate French lamb chops. The simplest of all preparations but quite possibly my favorite. If Rachel Ray were to prepare this she could take a 20 minute cocktail break and still be able to call it a 30 minute meal.So there you have it. Three great ways to enjoy lamb in 2010.-Ashley from Not Without Salt
