Variation
Use 4 bone-in pork loin chops instead of the lamb chops.
Lamb is the meat of sheep that are under one year of age. It is usually quite tender and works well with most cooking methods. Mutton, on the other hand, is sheep slaughtered after two years of age. It often has a strong aroma during cooking.
