Lamb chops in sticky tamarind

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

8 lamb cutlets, trimmed
2 t tamarind paste
¾ cup thick soy sauce
2 T mint, chopped
½ cup coriander, chopped

Cooking Instructions

Place the cutlets in a deep dish. Soften the tamarind in a little hot water and add the soy sauce, mint and coriander. Mix well and pour over the lamb.

Leave to marinate for 15 minutes. Heat a grill pan or braai grid until very hot. Sear the chops on one side, turn over and cook for 3 minutes or until done to your liking. Pour over the remaining sauce and heat through.

Cook’s tip: Serve with a lentil salad dressed with lemon, flat-leaf parsley and olive oil, or with fresh peas puréed with yoghurt and mint.
