Frequently Asked Questions

The Barnsley chop is a specific cut of lamb chop, named after the town of the same name in Yorkshire. It is essentially a double loin lamb chop sliced from the saddle roast. It is bigger than a normal cut of lamb chop and is best prepared on the grill (like in this recipe) or pan-fried. 

This mostly depends on your personal preferences, so there won’t be an exact answer. However, generally the leg and rack are considered to be the most tender cuts of lamb and are best roasted. Whereas tougher cuts like the shank and shoulder are ideal for braising or stewing.
