Marinade and Lamb Chops

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Lamb Chops

    In a bowl, combine the mashed raw papaya, yoghurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat and Grill

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lamb Chops

    Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chops on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your charred lamb chops!
