These are the most delicious and aromatic lamb chops you'll ever taste! When I make it, this savory Vietnamese-inspired lamb dish has impressed EVERYONE and has had people coming back for more for many years. It's suitable for any occasion...even Christmas or Thanksgiving. Plan ahead so you can marinate the lamb overnight.
