Marinated Lamb Chops

 
 
 

I’m not usually one for complicated marinades and such, generally preferring the rich flavours of a good cut of meat. However this one is a surprising little gem, enriching and smoothing out the flavours of lamb which can at times be a little overpowering. Can be used for any cut of lamb. Today I used lamb chops.

Ingredients

Good quality extra virgin Olive Oil

8 Anchovies (canned)

2 cloves of Garlic

1 twig of fresh Rosemary

Lamb

Ideally done the evening before, but the morning of will also do just fine.

Either chop very finely or blend the anchovies, garlic and rosemary in a blender (add some olive oil for ease of blending)

Place the mixture into a bowl and thin it with some more olive oil, stirring to even out the mixture. Submerge the lambchops, cover and place into the fridge. Turn over the meat a couple of times throughout the day if you can.

Take out of the fridge an hour before cooking, and then cook the way you usually do (I like to grill it).
