Lamb Rib Chops

What Are Lamb Rib Chops?
Lamb rib chops are premium cuts taken from the rib section of the lamb, specifically from the rack. Each chop contains a single rib bone with a tender eye of meat, often surrounded by a thin layer of fat that enhances flavor during cooking. This cut is known for its tenderness, fine texture, and delicate, slightly sweet flavor.

Rib chops are often referred to as "lamb lollipops" when the bone is Frenched (trimmed of fat and tissue), making them ideal for elegant presentations. They are considered one of the most desirable cuts of lamb due to their tenderness and visual appeal.

Best suited for dry-heat cooking methods such as grilling, broiling, pan-searing, or roasting, lamb rib chops cook quickly and respond well to simple seasonings or marinades. They're a favorite in upscale dining and are often served as individual portions or as part of a full rack.
