With Heritage day on the horizon, we like to celebrate local food, and what could be more apt than some delicious South African lamb, cooked for the occasion? This versatile meat lends itself to a variety of cuts and cooking techniques - and we've rounded up some of our favourite recipes below.

Winey oregano-and-lemon lamb chops

Nothing beats a good old chop on the braai - but why not mix up the way you prep them for a change? This recipe's marinade calls for a splash of white wine, and you won't regret adding it.
