How to Cook Lamb Chump Chops

Lamb chump chops come from the back end of the lamb.

The chump is a cut of meat from the back end of a sheep just above the leg. It is often cut into chops, and has a rich lamb flavor. Lamb chump chops can be prepared on your grill, but if it isn't grilling season you can make them just as well in a pan on your stovetop.
