Today I have a new twist on an old favorite for you. Mmm… lamb chops are so delicious; a little bit beefy and a little bit mildly-sweet. The rib bone makes a nice little handle with a nugget of meat to savor with each bite! And this time you can try a new sauce on the chops: chermoula.

Sauces are a wonderful way to add a new twist to favorite meals. Chermoula is a spicy herb marinade or sauce used in Moroccan, Algerian, and Tunisian cuisine.

It’s super easy to whip together, and you’ll have a tasty dinner in a matter of minutes.  [Read more…]
