    1/3 c  Dry white wine

  Lamb is one of the greatly under-utilized meats here in the US, I 
  think. There are a variety of recipes from around the world to 
  inspire you. Actually, I was looking for my Mongolian lamb recipe but 
  don't have it typed in (just use any ol' Mongolian beef recipe and 
  substitute lamb for the beef and don't over cook it). 
   
  Sprinkle the chops on both sides with salt and pepper.  Rub them on 
  both sides with curry powder to coat evenly. 
   
  Heat oil in a skillet large enough to hold the chops in one layer. 
  Add the chops and cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. 
  Turn and brown on second side, about 2 minutes.  Turn onto the fatty 
  rims and continue cooking until the rims are rendered of fat, about 2 
  minutes. 
   
  Turn the chops flat side down and cook, turning them occasionally. 
  The total cooking time should be about 15 minutes.  Transfer the 
  chops to a dish and pour off all the fat from the skillet. 
   
  Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and heat.  Add the 
  shallots and cook, stirring, about 15 seconds.  Add the wine and 
  bring to a boil. Cook for about 1 minute and then add the chicken 
  broth and tomato paste. Cook over moderately high heat until reduced 
  to about 1/3 cup. Swirl in the remaining butter and pour the sauce 
  over the chops. Serve sprinkled with parsley. 
   
  Serves 4.
