Chuletas Alinadas con Alioli Throughout Spain, eating lamb on Easter Sunday is a long-held tradition. Around the country, you’ll find whole lamb roasting on spits, seasoned legs of lamb grilling on barbecues, tougher cuts of lamb cooking slowly in a stew until meltingly tender and baby lamb chops, quickly seared and served with alioli sauce. This recipe comes from the eastern region of Catalunya, where the pungent garlic mayonnaise called alioli is served alongside.
