Lamb With Sauteed Veggies image

My parents raised sheep for more than 30 years, so I have several lamb recipes. Not only are these chops tender, but they cook quickly. While the lamb broils, I saute zucchini and red pepper to accompany it. People always comment on this great combination. -Ruth Lee, Troy, Ontario
