Lamb Dishes
Spicy Chilli and Thyme Lamb Chops.
This hot and spicy Lamb Chops/ Cutlet preparation is lip smacking good. Cook it over a coal barbeque or in a hot griddle pan and enjoy its juicy and wholesome flavour.
To make it I marinated the Chops with some cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, lemon juice and fresh thyme herb. Left it sitting for an hour and then pan fried it in a griddle pan for 2-3 minutes each side on a high heat till done. Then prepared a quick and easy sauce to go with it. Suitable for a warm summer’s day with a fresh salad and herbed baby potatoes/potato wedges.
