Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
- 1 Tbsp Pams brown sugar
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 8-10 lamb loin chops
- 2 large courgettes
- 60g fresh rocket
- ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, half of the lemon juice, brown sugar and 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Add the lamb chops and toss until each chop is well coated. Cover and set aside to marinade in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Once marinated, remove from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature for 10 minutes. Preheat your BBQ or a large grill pan to a medium high heat.
- Once the BBQ or pan is hot, cook the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) or until golden in colour and cooked to your liking. Remove from the heat, cover with foil and allow to rest.
- To prepare the salad, use a mandolin or slicer section of a box grater to thinly shave the courgettes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the rocket and parsley.
- Dress the salad with the remaining lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Toss to coat, then serve the salad alongside the cooked lamb chops. Serve and enjoy.
TOP TIP: Use cooking string or twine to tie the lamb loin chops into a rounded, more uniform shape! This will help the chops cook consistently and keep succulent.
