Review of last recipe - Sweet Chocolate Cake (photo above) - Boring looking but great tasting; especially the frosting.  Would have looked better as a 3-layer cake, but I didn't need all those extra calories hanging around the house.

TODAY'S RECIPE - BRAISED GARLIC LAMB
Serves 4

4 chump chops (from the shoulder/loin area)
4 tbsp bacon fat
salt and pepper
16 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
1/4 tbsp flour
1/4 cup beef stock
2 tbsp tomato puree

Fry the lamb chops lightly on both sides in the heated bacon fat in a heavy skillet.  Add salt and pepper and place the garlic cloves around the chops.  Cook gently for 3 minutes.

Sprinkle the flour over the chops, add the stock and tomato puree and simmer gently until the chops are tender.  Add more stock if needed.  Serve the lamb surrounded by the whole garlic cloves.
