In the winter time when the braai doesn’t come out as often as we would like and we have that need for lamb chops, this recipe is fantastic. It’ll give you serious garlic breath so just make sure everyone indulges. It takes 10-12 minutes tops.
What you need
8-10 lamb loin chops
6 cloves garlic finely sliced
Good pinch of chopped rosemary
100ml lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Glug of olive oil
The process
Mix the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and rosemary together to make a marinade.
Season the chops on both sides and place in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chops, cover and let them stand for 20-30 minutes.
While the chops are marinating, put the grill on to heat up.
Place the chops on a rack in a roasting pan 3/4 of the way up in the oven. You don’t want them too close to the grill or the garlic and rosemary will burn.
Grill on both sides and serve with boiled or baked potatoes and a side salad or stir fried vegetables.
Hi Graham. This recipe looks divine!! Do you have any other lamb chop recipes that I can try? I’m looking for something fairly simple, no complicated processes or “over-the-top” ingredients.
Thanks!!
A grind of salt and pepper then finished off with a little
squeeze of lemon are all I really need for great lamb chops,
but here are 2 other options to consider.
If you cook Indian from time to time you should have most of
the ingredients for the Indian lamb chops which are fantastic
and then there is a lamb chop casserole which is very simple
and seriously good.
