Recipe: Mediterranean Grilled Lamb

by Mummy's Kitchen

I first stumbled upon this recipe from Safeway Supermarket back when I was staying in the United Kingdom. Being a novice in preparing and cooking lamb, it was such a useful guide. What fascinated me about this recipe was it was unlike the usual recipe which uses rosemary, as I was no fan of this herb then. I believe that you will absolutely fall in love with this dish, even if you’re a lamb “hater”, because the smell of the lamb is so well covered up by the garlicky and lemony marinade.

Are you someone who loves food or cooking but are always stuck in a food rut, like experimenting new ways of cooking chicken or beef to impress your family or guests, why limit yourselves to the same types of meat? How about broadening your horizons by adding lamb into your menu for this festive season?

However, be mindful that though lamb has protein, minerals and vitamins which are beneficial to our bodies, it also has saturated fat, calories and purines which can hurt our bodies if we eat it excessively. Hence always eat moderately and enjoy the benefits of it!!

My

Serves 4 persons

Ingredients:

750g Lamb Chops (any cuts of your choice)

¾ tablespoon of cornflour (optional)

Marinade:

5 clove garlic, minced

1½ tablespoons ​olive oil

½ teaspoon black pepper

1½ tablespoons dried mixed herbs

Salt to taste

Zest of half the lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

 

Method:

  1. Rinse then pat the lamb dry.
  2. Rub the cornflour on the lamb to tenderise the lamb. This is an optional step. If you do not want to do it, you can skip this step.
  3. Place them in a tray.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients to make the marinade.
  5. Rub the marinade onto both sides of the lamb. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turn over, and refrigerate for another 2 hours or more. Personally, if you can afford to, marinate the lamb overnight to yield the best results!

Cooking the lamb:

  1. Preheat the oven at 180⁰C.
  2. Bring the lamb out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
  3. Grill the lamb for about 6 to 8 minutes or till your desired preference on both sides.
  4. Remove the grilled lamb and place onto a serving tray.
  5. Gather all the juices in the pan and any other marinade and bring them to a boil to make it into a sauce.

Happy holiday!! 😀

Note from Mummy’s Kitchen:

Mummy's Kitchen

Hi! My name is Josephine Go. I blog at BeyondNorm.com in a segment called Mummy’s Kitchen. I love to use fresh and natural ingredients in my cooking to promote healthy eating. Some of my recipes may not be in line with the traditional methods of cooking to the extent that some of the ingredients are different, but hopefully new recipes are being created in my style. I certainly hope that what I do will help guide kitchen first-timers on how to cook their first meal as well as further equip kitchen veterans with new recipes. My loving husband and two wonderful children are my best guinea pigs and critics. They have enjoyed (or endured) the food that has been served to them for all these years. Mind you, I did not know how to cook or ever knew that I could cook till I got married. So there is hope for everyone. If I can cook, you can cook. You will not know how good or talented you are until you put your hand in the plough.
