Decades ago, my parents used to buy lamb leg center cuts at the local Navy Exchange. No regular supermarket sold them. They weren't the tenderness cut of lamb, but were very good, not a lot of fat streaking thru them. It's been a long long time since I've had these, but am on a quest to get them. I've emailed some local area specialty butcher stores to see if they can cut them for me. The cuts at 3 major area supermarkets have terrible cuts of lamb. Super small, boney and a lot of fattyness streaking thru it.
Anyways, since there are so many lamb "chops" , I included a link to a picture of my quest and included my simple lamb marinade:

This will marinate 2 chops. The dried sage really adds something special.
1/2 tablespoon rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 clove garlic
1/2 a squeezed lemon
1/2 a cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
Marinate 1-3 hours. Broil chops 7-9 minutes each side.
I like to serve it with a baked potato, green beans, salad, roll and mint jelly.
