Sponsored: Barbecue garlic balsamic lamb chops
Prep time: 20Total time: 
Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme or rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
- ½ tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp clear honey
- 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to brush
- 8 lamb chops
- 2 Little Gem lettuce
Step by step
-
Combine the garlic, herbs, smoked paprika and honey in a bowl, then whisk in the balsamic vinegar and oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add the chops and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate for at least a couple of hours in the fridge (or up to 8 hours), but return to room temperature at least 30 minutes before barbecuing so they cook evenly.
-
Preheat the barbecue (or grill) to medium-high. Shake the excess marinade from the chops and barbecue or grill for 4-5 minutes each side, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, cut the lettuces in half through the stem so that the leaves stay together. Brush with oil, season and barbecue for about 5 minutes until lightly charred. Serve with the lamb, drizzling any resting juices over the charred lettuce.
TipEnjoy with a glass of Cafayate Estate Malbec.
