A quick, easy, delicious meal using lamb chops

 Important to note – lamb should not be served rare like steak.

Always render the fat.

Preparing the meat:

  1. Place the chops in a Tupperware and pour over olive oil and lemon juice.
    Close the container and leave to marinade (half an hour or overnight).
  2. If you are using a charcoal grill, you can light it now and wait for the coals to reach preferred temperature.
    If using a gas grill – wait until you have finished preparing your side dishes.
  3. Once all of the side dishes or your charcoal is ready, you can remove the chops and place them on the grill.
  4. Grill on the one side for approximately 3-4 minutes or turn if you notice it getting a bit too charred.
  5. Turn over and sprinkle any seasoning of your choice over.
  6. Turn over again and sprinkle more seasoning on that side.
  7. Remove from heat and allow to rest for a minute or two.

Grilled veggies:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350˚
  2. Place your choice of veggies in an aluminum container.
  3. Sprinkle olive oil, salt and pepper and some garlic salt over.
  4. Bake in the oven for approximately 40 minutes.

Potato in aluminum foil:

  1. Thoroughly wash the potatoes.
  2. Individually wrap each one in layer of aluminum foil (you can do this with whole onion too).
  3. Place directly on the coals, you can place one or two coals on top, but do not cover completely.
  4. Leave in coals for approximately 20 minutes, making sure to rotate after 10 minutes.
  5. Poke a sharp object in, if it feels soft, then the potato is cooked.
  6. Remove any aluminum foil, and slice open.
  7. You can smother some butter and your favorite seasoning or just salt and pepper on it.

  • Side salad – green, mixed, coleslaw
