Costolette d’agnello «a scottadito» (Roman-Style Lamb Chops)

Ingredients

• Rib lamb chops (about 2-3 per person)
• Lard (at room temperature)
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Slather the chops with lard and season them generally with salt and pepper. (You can allow them to marinate for 30-60 minutes, but this is not essential.)

2. 2

   Slap the chops on a hot grill. Continue grilling, turning the chops from time to time, until they are well done and nicely browned on both sides.

3. 3

   Serve nice and hot—remember the name!—with a green salad and, if you like, some pan-roasted potatoes. Beans or green beans would also be lovely accompaniments. Have lemon wedges on the side for those who want them.
