PAKISTANI-STYLE GRILLED LAMB CHOPS

Categories     Lamb     Side     Broil

Yield serves 2¿3

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 teaspoons very finely grated peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons garlic, crushed to a pulp
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2-3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garam masala, preferably homemade (page 285), but store-bought is fine
2 pounds lamb chops, shoulder or rib
2 tablespoons mustard, olive, or canola oil

Steps:

  • Combine the ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, black pepper, and garam masala in a shallow dish large enough to hold the chops. Mix well. Rub this marinade on both sides of the chops, cover, and refrigerate 4-24 hours.
  • Just before eating, preheat the broiler and set a rack 4-5 inches from the source of heat.
  • Put the chops, with any marinade that clings to them easily, in a baking tray, brush both sides with oil, and place under broiler. Broil 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned. If the chops are an inch thick they will still be pink inside, the way I like them. If you want them more done, put them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops and the doneness desired.

INDIAN LAMB CHOPS

Try these crispy Indian lamb chops cooked Amritsari-style on the barbecue. Two marinades means it takes more time to prepare, but you'll achieve more flavour

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 best-end lamb chops, flattened to 2cm thick (ask your butcher to do this for you)
green chutney
1 lime, cut into wedges to serve
2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
2 tbsp ginger & garlic paste
50ml vegetable oil
2 tsp tomato purée
large pinch of crushed black pepper
2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric

Steps:

  • Put the lamb and all the first marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hrs, and up to 4 hrs.
  • Blend all the second marinade ingredients together. Remove the lamb from the first marinade and put it in a clean bowl. Add the second marinade and rub it into the lamb, then chill for a further 4 hrs, or overnight.
  • Light a barbecue with a lid, then barbecue the chops on a high heat until cooked to medium (around 8 mins), making sure the meat isn't directly on the flame to avoid burning the spices. The key is to keep the lid on so the temperature is consistent. Or cook in the oven on a baking tray for 12 mins, and finish off under the grill for 2 mins to crisp them up. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over and green chutney on the side (see our recipe).

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Lamb Chops: Opt for high-quality lamb chops with good marbling for added flavor and tenderness. Look for chops that are evenly cut and have a pinkish-red color.
  • Marinating the Lamb Chops: Marinating the chops in a flavorful blend of spices, herbs, yogurt, and olive oil not only enhances the taste but also tenderizes the meat. Allow the chops to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Grilling Technique: Preheat your grill to high heat before cooking the lamb chops. Sear the chops for a few minutes on each side to create a nice crust, then reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling until the chops reach your desired doneness.
  • Resting the Lamb Chops: Once the lamb chops are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
  • Garnish and Sides: Garnish the grilled lamb chops with fresh herbs like mint, cilantro, or parsley for an aromatic touch. Serve the chops with grilled vegetables, a refreshing salad, or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
