Whip up quick and flavorful BBQ lamb chops for a delicious midweek meal in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
  • 1 large lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 20.00 ml rosemary leaves
  • 90ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 lamb loin chops
  • 800g pumpkin
  • 1 bunch rocket
  • 100g goat’s cheese
Instructions:
  • Heat up your barbecue or chargrill pan while you zest and juice the lemon separately. Make a paste by grinding garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt, then mix in lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, chilli flakes, fennel seeds, rosemary, and 80ml (1/3 cup) oil using a mortar and pestle. Set aside the rest of the lemon juice. Save a third of the marinade in a small bowl for serving later.
  • Pour the remaining marinade evenly into 2 large bowls. Place the lamb in one bowl, coat it thoroughly by tossing, and let it marinate for 5 minutes.
  • Cut the pumpkin into 2cm-thick wedges and halve them widthwise. Arrange in a single layer on a large microwave-safe plate, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on high for 5 minutes or until slightly tender. Discard liquid and add the pumpkin to a separate large bowl with the marinade. Mix well to coat evenly.
  • Grill lamb for 4 minutes per side until nearly done. Let it rest for 5 minutes. While resting, grill pumpkin for 2 minutes per side until lightly charred.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of reserved lemon juice, the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil, and a pinch of salt. Add rocket, toss to coat, and sprinkle with crumbled goat's cheese.
  • Plate the tender lamb and savory pumpkin, then generously drizzle with the flavorful reserved marinade. Accompany with a crisp side salad for a satisfying meal.
