Masala lamb chops

Char-grilled lamb chops in a punchy masala rub — the recipe was given to me by the chef at the Oyster Box after I had made a nuisance of myself. Lip-smacking good.

Masala lamb chops

Marinate for at least 4 hours. Overnight is better. Char hard.

Method

  1. 01

    Whisk everything except the chops into a marinade.

  2. 02

    Coat the chops well and refrigerate 4 hours minimum, overnight ideally.

  3. 03

    Heat a griddle pan or grill to screaming hot. Shake excess marinade off the chops.

  4. 04

    Cook 2-3 minutes per side for pink, 4 minutes per side for medium. You want a proper char.

  5. 05

    Rest 5 minutes. Finish with coriander and lemon. Serve as a starter or alongside curry.
