Salt, pepper, a properly hot grill and five minutes of rest, with mint sauce and lemon on the side.
From the shop
Start with 1 kg of lamb BBQ chops, which is about 6 to 8 chops. Lamb leg chops cook the same way. They are leaner, so take them off 1 minute sooner.
Ask for the chops in the shop’s BBQ marinade when you order and skip the oil and seasoning in step 2. Cook them over medium-high heat so the marinade does not burn.
Heat the barbecue fully before the chops go on. A hot grill browns the outside fast and keeps the inside moist.
Ingredients
