BBQ Lamb Chops Recipe

BBQ Lamb Recipe

What you will need

• 2 lbs. (about 1 kg) lamb chops, fresh is the best
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 cloves garlic, pressed
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground hot pepper or hot paprika (optional)

Method

Wash the lamb chops and drain thoroughly.

In a large mixing bowl combine the herbs, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and spices. Add the lamb chops and mix well to coat the meat evenly.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the lamb chops for at least six hours, or overnight for best results.

Remove the lamb chops from the fridge, and heat your grill. Lightly oil the grill rack to prevent the meat from sticking. Cook the lamb chops for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the cuts of meat. Be careful of flames from fat drippings, which can scorch the meat.
