Chef Way The Clarks sometimes make this recipe with lamb chops, but they also love spicing lamb shoulder with cumin and paprika, then slow-roasting it.
Easy Way Stick with lamb chops, which cook quickly and are full of flavor.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Lamb and Rioja make a natural pair, as the wine's bright cherry fruit complements gamey flavors. Look for the 2003 Ramón Bilbao Edición Limitada or the aromatic, complex 2004 Artadi Viñas de Gain.
