Lamb chump chops are meatier and more forgiving than loin chops — braised briefly with flageolet beans and tomatoes in the French country style, they become rich and comforting.

Chef's tip
Chump chops release a lot of their own fat during braising — skim the surface before adding the beans for a cleaner sauce.
