Joy, do you know of a good organic butcher in the Philadelphia area? I’m already wise to Bringhurst Meats in South Jersey, but I’m trying to find something on the PA side.

I love lamb – it’s easily, without question, my favorite meat. Thanks for the great tips on cooking chops. I’ve also struggled with even cooking. And not to brag, but over here on the other side of the state, we’ve got some awesome lamb farms. Ok, fine, I’m bragging.

I don’t know how I grew up in a Greek family hating lamb. My parents are lamb crazed and I showed them this – they loved it! I am trying to sample it more often to start developing a taste for lamb.

Hi, Jeanine,

I used the grapeseed oil because of its high smoke point and neutral flavor. You could use any such oil; canola or peanut would both work too.

Why grapeseed oil for searing? And terrific tip re: twine! We always get tripped up by the uneven cooking….

I learned to love lamb at a young age, and fell even harder when we could get great lamb at the greenmarket in NYC, so we were thrilled to learn that this year’s wintertime market in RI would have locally raised lamb – and I think I’m going to need some loin chops, pronto. Gorgeous!

Hi, Lindsey,

Those came from Giunta’s in Reading Terminal Market, which is one of my favorite places to buy meat. It’s less expensive than Whole Foods, but more expensive than a megamarket. They have a great selection of quality meats, though not all of it is organic/grass fed. As always, ask questions when you shop.

That looks amazing!

We get all of our meat, chicken, etc. from local farmers and an organic butcher. It’s all just so yummy that there’s no way I could ever be a vegetarian.

We should have, but we were impatient to dig in!
