Hunan Lamb Chops

A different and delicious way to prepare lamb. This is from Bon Appetit and I was attracted to it because it uses lamb shoulder chops and you don't see too many recipes for those. I have prepared these indoors using a ridged grill pan with excellent results.

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  thinly sliced green onion, divided

Directions

1. Prepare barbecue (high heat).
2. Whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Sherry, chili oil, rice vinegar, and finely chopped garlic to blend in shallow dish; mix in 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions.
3. Add lamb and turn to coat.
4. Let marinate 20 minutes.
5. Brush grill rack with oil.
