Cook your way


Hello my friends. I’m going to inaugurate this new column for everyone of my friends leaving alone, away from their families. For everyone that hasn’t a skill in cooking. Here you will find many easy and delicious recipes for every occasion. Starting from today, I will give a recipe for lamb chops. Because today in Greece is “Tsiknopempti” so everyone eats meat. Hope you enjoy and support this idea. Lets start.

LAMB CHOPS WITH HONEY AND ROSEMARY MARINADE

- 1.5kg lamb chops
FOR THE MARINADE:
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 200gr. honey
- 2 springs rosemary

Wash the rosemary springs and cut the leaves. Pill the garlic cloves and crush them with some salt in a pestle and mortar. Now mix everything up, except of the oil, and you will have a paste (the oil can prevent the acidity of the lemon juice or vinegar from penetrating the meat). Rub the marinade all over the lamb. Then pour the oil and leave to marinade for a minimum of 1 hour, turning occasionally, or in the fridge overnight so the flavours really get into the meat. When u are ready to cook, season the lamb well. Place under a hot grill, or a smoking pan or barbecue, for about 5-8 minutes, either side for pink, turning once or twice. Romove it and leave it to stand for a minute or two before serving.
As for the garniture, u can have a salad or rice or potatoes. But I will give u a garniture recipe in our next "Cook your way". Till then, Enjoy!

Aaah, I've missed "tsiknopempth". :( I've totaly lost sense of time. Sounds really yummy and I love rosemary!
I'll try it soon (mind if I replace lamb chops with something easier to find in a supermarket in the UK? :P)
