Ever since I moved to Paris I have cooked lamb only a couple of times. Reason? It’s no rocket science! I still don’t know how to ask for the correct portion of meat in french yet. No matter how well I rehearse my lines or use google translate, the long queue behind me, the smoldering look on the butcher’s face and my stammering speech is enough to give me palpitations. I end up nodding to anything and everything that the butcher has muttered underneath his breath. This time I ended up with mutton chops. Phew! sounds silly na? But my lamb chops tasted simply yummilicious thanks to my moms recipe handed down from generations. We couldn’t get enough of it and decided to buy the same portion of meat the next time, hopefully.
