Recipe - Lamb Chops On A Bed Of Peppers

2 tablespoon Chopped parsley
1 teaspoon Grated lemon peel
One fourth teaspoon Minced fresh garlic
1/3 cup Olive oil
2 Onions; thinly cut or sliced up
2 Green bell peppers
2 Red bell peppers
2 Yellow bell peppers; each
seeded and cut into 1/4
inch strips
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
4 Rib lamb chops

Combine the parsley, lemon peel and garlic and set aside for later as a
garnish for the lamb chops.

In a large skillet heat the olive oil. Add onions and cook gently until
golden and brown (be sure not to burn them). Add peppers and continue to
cook for about 10 minutes or until tender, but still with some crispness
left. Season with salt and pepper.

When onions and pepper are tender, cook the lamb chops. Dry them, season at
last minute with salt and pepper and either grill or broil them for 3 to 4
minutes a side or not beyond medium rare.

Spoon peppers and onions on plate; top with lamb chops and sprinkle lemon
parsley mixture over lamb. You'll have "planned leftover" peppers and
onions for the following night.

Yield: 2 servings, plus extra peppers for next night

SECOND TIME AROUND PEPPERS

Use peppers as a filling in an omelet or as a topping for an egg fritatta.
Use peppers to mix into tomato sauce to spread over pita bread for instant
individual "pizza". sauce. Top the mixture with cheese (mozzarella or
goat's) and bake at 400 for 5 minutes or until peppers and tomato is hot
and cheese has melted.

Use peppers to liven up a tuna fish salad served over lettuce.
