Method

Ingredients

1. Wrap the lamb bones in foil so they don’t burn. Mix the rub and oil and rub all over the lamb.

2. To make the Mexican BBQ sauce, mix all the ingredients except the salt, then simmer for 5 minutes. Season to taste.

3. Place the lamb over medium coals, skin-side down, and braai for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C. Rest for 5 minutes.

4. Slice the lamb into chops. If it’s underdone, place back on the braai for a few minutes. Serve with the BBQ sauce and chimichurri.

Cook's note: Wrapping the bones in foil will prevent them from burning.
