Lamb Shoulder Chops Recipe

I know that I should take pretty pictures of the food that I have cooked in order to make my blog attractive.

However, in this instance, the chops were so quickly eaten by BH and me, I didn't get a chance to take a nice food porn photo. Not that I could anyway with my blackberry camera. It would probably be overexposed.

Anyway, BH and I enjoyed the lamb so much, and it was so easy to make, I thought I would share the recipe.

Easy Lamb Chops

4 Lamb Shoulder Chops with bone in (should be at least 250 grammes each)
2 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon of honey
1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
6 cloves of garlic smashed
2 tablespoons of lime juice

Mix the above in a heavy duty freezer bag and push out all air from bag. Store in fridge for at least 2 hours and flip over mid way to ensure even distribution of marinade.

Remove from fridge and allow to come to room temperature.

At this point, I whipped out my blow torch and seared those suckers good. Till I got a nice browning on the meat surface. Popped them into a broiler at 125 degrees centigrade and cooked them for 10 mins (pink) and 15 mins (well done). If you don't have a torch, then just pan fry them at very high heat on each side for a min and then pop into broiler or oven.

Serve with steamed veggies or fries or a rosti or even pasta.

A fuss free dinner for two!
