    Did you know lean beef and lamb contains omega 3 contributing to heart health,particularly important for those who don't eat oily fish.One tip I always follow while making this dish-remove excess fat from lamb shoulder chops before cooking and brown lamb shoulder chops before baking for that extra flavor.Lamb shoulder chops,lamb neck chops,diced lamb shoulder all work well in this recipe. Here I used shoulder chops.
