Lightly fry off some garlic, rosemary and some red onion. Chuck in the chops but only cook them until they are still pink in the middle. Serve with new potatoes and a green salad. Yum.

Reply:pan grill on a hot pan, a few flips and not so long cook time. dash in some salt. herbs and spice at the end of cooking before serving
Reply:just salt and pepper with garlic, chilli and lime juice is a great combination!





you can then add:


garam masala to make it Indian


tequila to make it Mexican


five spice to make it Chinese


tomatoes and basil to make it Italian


or you can leave it as the original,





With all meat, it tastes best when marinaded, make slits into the meat and rub your marinade into it and leave in fridge all night!





To cook it (if you're not using a BBQ), works best on a griddle pan! i love mine! just sort of place the meat on one side, then flip over after about 4-5 and repeat until the meat is ready! If at anytime, its sticking, just add a bit of water! and if you like the flavours extra intense, baste it as you turn!





Even just rosemary and mint would be great!





Be adventurous and have fun!
Reply:I like rosemary on the chops when grilling, and mint sauce on the side. You can mix your herbs with some butter and garlic and spread it on the chops before grilling slowly.
Reply:i would suggest braising the chops on a hot griddle, and leaving to rest while you make a breadcrumb crust using wholemeal bread rosemary, mint seasoning and 1 egg white to hold it together. pre heat your oven to about 160 deg c smoother the chops with the crust and back until lamb is cooked through. Its a little difernt but really brings out the flavours- if you find the two herbs too much in the crust, the rosemary is delicious on roast potatoes! happy eating x
Reply:Yeah! First put sprigs of rosemary on the grill pan, then brush your chops with mint jelly. Grill to your liking, and serve with rosemary mash and mint sauce. You make the mash by cooking the pots with a good sprig of rosemary. Enjoy!
Reply:MINT ON EVERY THING
Reply:chop up your mint and add to your rosemary add this to a tablespoon of olive oil and a little rock salt and rub the mixture on the lamb, grill the chops and the excess oil/fat will drain away leaving you with the seasoned chop, we do ours on the george foreman grill.
