Braised Lamb Shoulder Chops with Tomatoes and Rosemary

Lamb shoulder chops are much less expensive than loin or rib chops, and because they have many more bones, they are far more flavorful as well. You would not want to braise the pricier, smaller loin or rib chops—which are best served rosy and pink—but shoulder chops develop an irresistible richness after simmering in a red-wine broth.
