Indian style BBQ lamb forequarter chops

INGREDIENTS

8 small lamb forequarter chops or 4 large, trimmed

4cm piece ginger, finely grated

80ml (⅓ cup) olive oil

2 tbsp chilli jam

1 tbsp garam masala

3 tsp poppy seeds

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground nutmeg

½ cup roughly chopped coriander leaves

2 zucchini, quartered lengthwise, scored

To serve

Baby rocket, tomato and cucumber salad

Natural yoghurt

Lemon wedges

METHOD

  • Preheat barbecue or char grill pan to high. Place ginger, 2 tablespoons oil, jam, spices and coriander in a medium bowl; season to taste and stir to combine. Take 1 tablespoon of the marinade and place in a separate small bowl. Set aside. Add your lamb forequarter chops to the medium bowl and toss well to coat. Stand until required.
  • Add 1 tbsp of tepid water and remaining oil to the reserved marinade, season to taste and stir well to combine. Brush the cut side off the zucchini liberally with the mixture.
  • Cook lamb on barbecue, turning and basting with marinade, for 5-6 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Cover loosely with foil and stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Meanwhile, place zucchini cut side down on barbecue. Cook, turning, for 2-3 minutes or until charred and cooked to your liking.
  • Divide zucchini among plates and serve with lamb forequarter chops and natural yoghurt. Serve with baby rocket, tomato and cucumber salad with lemon wedges on the side.

TIPS

  • This is inspired by a southern Indian dish from Goa. It encompasses its Portuguese heritage, and served as a wet dish. With this recipe we will transport these traditional flavours and modernise them the best way we know how; quick, easy and on the barbecue.
  • If time permits, marinate your lamb forequarter chops for 3-4 hours or overnight.
