Lamb Chops With Orange Butter
"This recipe comes from Pillsbury Easy Meals for 2 booklet. The prep time is minimal and they are cooked in 8 to 12 minutes on a contact grill. I used a reduced sugar marmalade. The recipe calls for dried marjoram leaves, which I did not have. I used the Herbes de Provence. You choose which you want to use. I served this with Rita L's French Green Beans with Garlic and Sliced Almonds (recipe 107639) and Marie's Brown and Serve Rolls (ABM) (recipe 111746). An elegant dinner for 2 can be had in less than 30 minutes."

I loved this dish! The orange butter was fabulous... very unique! I used herbes de provence and omitted the red pepper for dietary reasons. I didn't have a contact grill and my outdoor grill is broken at the moment so I just seared the chops in a pan. I served them with acorn squash and corn. Thanks for a great recipe! **Made this again the other day... mmmmmm I LOVE that orange butter. It goes SOOOOO well with the lamb. Thanks again. -
I made these for DH and he liked it.. he liked the herby taste a lot but liked the orange taste less. These were easy to prepare and having tasted the sauce I thought it was fine, but obviously personal tastes differ. Please see my rating system: 3 stars for a nice recipe that I will make just for myself next time. Thanks! -
These were delicious. I used loin chops and broiled them as I find bone in chops don't do so well on my George Foreman. Used the marjoram, and otherwise made them just as written. They were so easy to throw together and all four of us gobbled them up. Given that dh isn't a big lamb fan and ds has the nickname of "Mr. Picky", this is really saying something. I thought the marmalade gave just a hint orange flavor to the lamb that was lovely, and the butter made it nice and rich. Thanks Paula--this one is a keeper. -
Delicious Lamb Chops, I made the recipe using round bone chops and cooking them in a skillet, as it was raining. I used fresh Marjoram, as I didn't have dried and made the rest as stated, Yummy. Though next time I am using less butter and Cooking them on the grill though they were delicious cooked the way I did them. Thank you Paula, for another yummy recipe.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
