LEBANESE LAMB CHOPS WITH LEMONY LETTUCE
No, its not the title of a lost Dr. Seuss opus, but a perfectly grown-up dish in which the richness of grilled spice-rubbed lamb chops is cut by lemon (both zest and flesh). Chances are you'll want to eat it anywhere.

Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes for flavors to develop.
