Grilled Lamb Chops

The past few days we have been eating a lot of chicken. So, for a change today, I decided to cook lamb chops. I saw this recipe on television one day and found it so simple to make that I thought I definitely should give it a try. Believe me it is so delicious that it simply melts in the mouth. My husband is not a great fan of lamb, but he simply loved eating these chops and it gave me great pleasure to watch him enjoy his food.

I also made some nice mango and mixed bell pepper salad to go with the lamb and some tzaziki which is a greek yogurt and cucumber dip. So here goes the recipe...
