Marinated BBQ Lamb Chops
I have never loved lamb on the barbecue, growing up, my family like lamb well done. Since getting married, I now love it, as we cook it a little less. I love it even more now that I've added this marinade to it.
This is a simple dish, but I think it tastes great.
You can use this same marinade on lamb cutlets. Make it with 8 cutlets and either barbecue them or you can pan fry them. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side for rare-medium rare, rest for 10 minutes in a warm place. Cook them for longer if you want them cooked more. The reason I prefer chops is they are so much cheaper and still taste great.
Here is something to try for your next barbecue.
