Description

Lamb rib chops are cuts of meat that come from the ribs of young lamb, characterized by their mild, juicy flavor and tender texture. These chops often include a portion of the rib bone, which gives them an intense aroma and an attractive presentation in dishes.

Lamb is a meat traditionally consumed in various cultures around the world, with a strong presence in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and some Latin American cuisines. Lamb rib chops are frequently used for roasts, grills, or pan preparations, where their texture is enhanced with cooking methods that preserve juiciness, such as griddling or grilling.

Properties: This meat is an excellent source of high-quality protein, in addition to containing B-complex vitamins (such as B12 and niacin) and essential minerals like zinc, iron, and phosphorus. It also provides healthy fats that contribute to the flavor and a feeling of satiety.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Depending on the region, lamb rib chops may be known simply as chuletas de cordero (lamb chops), or in some countries as costillas de cordero (lamb ribs). It is common in some areas for them to also be referred to within specific preparations as chuletas or costi-letas, although their most common name is chuletas de costilla de cordero (lamb rib chops).
