    The star of this dish is the sultry flavored red wine lamb sauce that surrounds the creamy white beans and roasted lamb chops. Nestle the chops on top and the three flavors come together in an astounding way. It’s a surprisingly easy for such an elegant dish. 

    Lamb Chop Recipe

    For our special Sunday dinner this week, I knew for sure that I wanted a recipe that would reflect our Western culture.

    After scouring my database, I landed on this roasted Colorado Lamb Chops dish from Restaurant Kevin Taylor, one of Colorado’s most prestigious dining spots. The recipe is showcased in the new cookbook, Tasting Colorado.

    I’ll cut right to the chase, this recipe is an incredible lamb dish.

    Don’t let this lengthy set of instructions scare you away. The wine sauce takes the longest time, and it can be made in advance. Then prepare the beans using canned beans, pretty darn easy. The lamb chops are seared and then finished in the oven giving you time to take a breath and a sip of wine before you plate the meal.

    It’s always the season for lamb. Looking for more ideas? How about this One-Hour Roasted Leg of Lamb. The flavors in this recipe will have your family following their noses to the dinner table.

    Let’s make this Lamb Chop and White Bean masterpiece:

      Hi Lea Ann,

      Thank you once again for being my guest blogger while I’ve been away. Funny thing that we were walking by a guy grilling outside one evening and I said, “Wow, what are you grilling?” And he said, “Lamb chops!” I immediately thought of you and this delicious recipe! Also, I have already had one reader comment that she prepared it and her husband said that it is now one his #1 favorite recipe! The sauce looks like something that I’d lick off the plate! Thank you again and for all of your kind words! I’ll be sending you a little bit of aloha love next week when I am over the jet lag!

      Hugs,
      Roz
