   Season the chops with freshly ground salt and pepper, and maybe some rosemary  as that goes really well with lamb, place the chops on a hot griddle and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, basically you can adjust the cooking time to suit your particular tastes, but I like them to be pink in the middle, you can test how cooked they are depending on how much give there is in the meat when you press on it, if there's no movement at all then they are well done, if they feel like the padded bit on your hand under your thumb then they are rare and anywhere in between they will be cooked medium rare.  I love lamb we had a lamb shoulder for dinner today slow roasted for 5 hours and it just fell off the bone, very tender, very succulent, very tasty.

   The best ideal is to buy lamb chops that are 3/4 of an inch thick. If you buy them any thinner they will get over cooked and be tough. I like mine a little pink in the middle so I cook them until they are right below 140 degrees on a meat thermometer. In a 3/4 inch lamb chop they will be perfect every time.
   
   I use salt, pepper, and garlic on my lamb chops and I cook them on a hot grill. But not so hot that it burns my lamb chops. I want my lamb chops brown and juicy on the outside and tender and pink on the inside.
   
   I always serve Granny Smith Mint Apple Jelly with my lamb chops and they are so yummy.
   
   I usually serve my lamb chops with homemade garlic mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I usually serve garlic bread with them And almost everyone who tries them loves them.

   My hubby uses GIada's recipe for lamb chops and grills them. They are totally delish. She's on the food network.

   One trick is to poach or boil he lamb chops on a very low heat for 45 minutes to allow the meat to be cooked through. Then fry the chops if that is what you are going to do.
