Name: Grilled-Lamb Chops over Carrot Gorgonzola Smash
Yield: Serves 6
Ingredients: 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 small bunch flat leaf parsley, finely chopped; 6 fresh lamb chops, bone-in; Salt and pepper to taste; 8 carrots, peeled and chopped; 1 ounce gorgonzola dolce, crumbled

I made these one night at a friend's house. He was craving mashed potatoes to go along with the lamb chops I was making, and, having no potatoes to peel, boil, and mash, I went with carrots instead. The sweet, rich mixture that resulted benefitted gloriously from a touch of creamy, pungent gorgonzola, making the perfect bed for the oil-and-herb-marinated lamb chops.
Note: Have your butcher cut the lamb chops into individual "lollipops" for you.
