Lamb Chops w/ Quinoa and Red Pepper Sauce

Lamb is a rarity in Canada where I come from, so it’s great to be able to work with lamb in Australia at least once a week at home and every day at the restaurant. The quinoa is a nice touch, not being a starch or a vegetable, but a seed with a great texture.

Enjoy this lamb chops recipe with quinoa and red pepper sauce!
