Taste of HomeWhen my husband and I were first married, we dined at an inn that served a flavorful plum soup. After experimenting with different recipes, I came up with my own wonderful version! —Carol Klein, Franklin Square, New YorkFood and WineAndrew Zimmern’s Kitchen AdventuresThis is a family meal that gets its inspiration from the countless little taverns all over Italy where grilled lamb comes on the bone, served with vegetable salads like this caponata (an eggplant dish with pine nuts and anchovies). I’m always mopping up the vegetables and lamb juices in these restaurants. My lovely wife constantly tells me, “Slow down!” and “Watch your manners!” So, to eat the way I like but also make sure my wife will still dine in public with me, I compose the dish on my plate with cheese and grilled bread under the meat and vegetables to catch all the juices. Thus, one of our favorite rites of spring is the first lamb grill of the season, which always makes me remember a family trip to Sardinia. Our seven-year-old sits with me (“Dad, lamb lollipops!” he shouts) and we demolish half the platter. Eating with your hands is the best advice I have, but use a fork and knife if you are getting yelled at too much. Some guests think the vinaigrette is too much. Balderdash! I like that acidic punch, one that isn’t as tart-sweet as the caponata and cuts the richness of the lamb in a way that no other component of the dish could.—Andrew Zimmern Fast Lamb Chop RecipesAllrecipesThis recipe came about when I had pork chops and mushrooms on hand and wanted something different. The richness of the mushrooms and the tang of the wine make these chops an easy and tasty weeknight main course! Serve on hot buttered bowtie pasta or rice with a tossed green salad for a complete meal.
