"Corned" Lamb Chops

Next to bacon, corned beef is my favorite breakfast item to go with my eggs and coffee. It is a popular menu item at diners and coffee shops that serve breakfast. But what other kind of meat can we substitute for corned beef? How about "corned" lamb chops? That's right. I was pleasantly surprised when I experimented on using slow-cooked lamb chops to make my "corned beef." It's a long, two-step process, but worth the effort that rewards you with a sumptuous breakfast ( or lunch, or dinner).
