California Lamb Chops with Mango Salsa
Ingredients:
4 fresh California lamb chops, loin or rib cut, 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick Salt and pepper, to taste
Mango Salsa
2 mangoes, peeled, pitted and cut into bite-sized chunks
1 red onion, peeled and diced small
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Red pepper flakes, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Juice of two fresh limes
Preparation:
Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Set aside. In medium bowl, combine salsa ingredients. Grill lamb chops 4 to 6 inches from medium hot coals. For best flavor and texture, lamb chops should be cooked medium to medium rare, 3-5 minutes on each side on a covered grill. Remove from heat and serve with a generous portion of salsa. Or, if you prefer, broil lamb chops by placing on broil pan 3 to 4 inches away from heat source. Turn the chops once during cooking, until desired doneness is reached.
