Hey Doug...is each lamb chop one serving??? Or is a serving all 4? Cuz that's alot of fat for one lamb chop if it is...but this recipe sounds good! I need something tasty but healthy to replace my constant chicken, fish, and turkey dinners once and awhile!

hi...Serving is per lamb chop...Lamb is a very fatty food (must be the grass they eat..lol) the nutritional content of lamb chops per 3oz is 11.8g fat and 21.0g protein...Nice with mint sauce and new potatoes
