Marinated Lamb Chops

About Our Marinated Lamb Chops

These are our own lamb chops, marinated in the deli and handed over ready to cook. A lamb chop is already a good thing; a marinated one saves you the four hours of planning ahead that most people never quite get round to.

The marinade does two jobs. It seasons the meat right through rather than just on the surface, and its acidity works on the outer few millimetres of muscle so the chop eats more tenderly. It also means the chops colour fast on a grill, so watch them - marinated meat browns considerably quicker than plain meat.

Cook them the same way you would cook plain chops: hot and fast, fat edge rendered first, medium at most. Three minutes a side is usually right. If you would rather season them yourself, take our plain lamb loin chops, and for the same house marinade on beef see our mshikaki.

How to Cook Marinated Lamb Chops

• Render the fat edge first, then 3 minutes a side over high heat.
• Marinated meat browns fast - watch them from the two minute mark.
• No extra salt needed, the marinade is seasoned.
• Cook to medium at most, then rest 3-4 minutes.
• Over charcoal, keep a cooler zone to move them to if the marinade catches.
