Cooking Instructions

To make the lamb:
Place the chops on the grill over medium for a couple of minutes (without any seasoning or marinade) to seal on each side. Remove from the grill and place in a deep tray. Brush with Woolworths Original Braai Marinade to coat. Set aside to rest at room temperature.

In the mean time, make your sweet potatoes and the chimichurri sauce for the lamb:

To make the sweet potatoes:
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with butter. Season with sea salt and a pinch or two of smoked paprika. Wrap them up in foil (shiny side in) and place on the side of the fire for a smokey and crisp finish, about 5 minutes should do it. Cut a slit in each and serve with crumbled blue cheese.

To make the chimichurri sauce:
In a mortar and pestle, grind together 1 cup chopped mint, 1 cup chopped parsley, 2 cloves mashed garlic, 1/4 teaspoon red chilli, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, sea salt to taste, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper.

To serve: A few minutes before eating, place the lamb chops on the grill to warm up and cook for another minute or two. Serve with the chimichurri sauce and sweet potatoes.
