Lamb With Sauteed Veggies

Lamb With Sauteed Veggies
Ruth likes to serve this streamlined supper at family functions. "My parents raised sheep for more than 30 years, so I have several lamb recipes," she shares. "Not only are these chops tender, but they cook quickly." While the lamb broils, Ruth sautes red pepper and zucchini to accompany it. "People always comment on this great combination," she assures.
