When asked what my favourite movie star recipe is, in ye olden dayes I used to say Marlene Dietrich’s Lamb Chops en Casserole. But that was before I tried Elizabeth Taylor’s Chicken Steamed in White Wine.Currently #1 in my personal hit parade.
I haven’t made the Marlene Casserole for AGES, but when I spotted another of her recipes for lamb chops in this book.
I had to try it. I made this ages ago and spent quite a lot of time taking photos as I was going to make a video demo, but I never got around to it. Here they are, in the hope that they whet your appetite for trying the recipe, which you’ll find right at the bottom of this post.
Fancy having a go?!
Thanks, Marlene!

Mmm yummy pictures. I enjoyed rewatching A Foreign Affair last week! And also discovered a more local source of lamb. Hmmm….
Do it, VT!! I must find the other Marlene Lamb Chop recipe and pop it in this post as I remember it being really good. I also must find the frozen portions of this lamb chop dish and put them towards the TOP of a freezer drawer to remind me to eat them. I think there are two – or maybe even three portions in there…

How long to cook it on medium heat before adding the stock and cooking it for an hour?? That almost seems like a misprint, or that Ms. Spain left out a sentence. Otherwise, this sounds tasty!
Yes, good point, Margie! I probably have a little scribbled note about this somewhere but from memory I just ignored the bit about cooking it before cooking it – haha – I think I just stuck it in the oven x
