Herb Crusted Italian Lamb Chops

Image
These lamb chops are brushed with dijon mustard and coated with a garlic-herb crumb crust.   This recipe gives these chops a delicious  rack of lamb flavor.

Grilled Lamb Chops

One is the same one  I use for grilled leg of lamb . I've posted that one  below. The other one has a hint of curry powder,  though you can't pick that out in the flavor.  Then there's always my go-to seasoning prep for grilling meat.  All good!  Mari...
