Cheap can mean tasty especially when it comes to those cuts of meat like neck and shoulder chops. Anything close to the bone has more flavour. The key is to trim off any excess fat and cook slowly. Pouring milk (a splash of cream as well doesn't hurt) over lamb creates a delicious crust during cooking, which uncovers sweet, succulent meat flavoured with bay, olives and garlic. The kitchen smells wonderful. A nice dish to cook in individual dishes. Having the vegetables as the entree means nothing extra is necessary to pair with the lamb.

Pour over the milk and cream, if using, then bake for 2 hours.
