Grilled lamb chops, padron and green peppers with a tagine yoghurt, sultanas and coriander
If you are not a fan of green peppers we urge you to try them grilled. They provide a great grassy and fresh flavour to the lamb chops, and they work so well with the grilled onions.
Ingredients
For the lamb chops:
8 lamb chops
2 large green peppers
4 red onions
100g sultanas
2 tbsp Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Oporto Vinegar
150g padron peppers
1 small bunch fresh coriander, chopped
For the tagine yoghurt:
250g Greek yoghurt
3 tbsp Tagine Paste
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Get your BBQ going. When your embers are orange and hot, grill the green peppers and red onions whole, until they are charred all over. This will take around 15-20 minutes or a hot BBQ.
- Place the peppers and onions in a bowl and cover with a plate to steam for around 10 minutes.
- Soak the sultanas in water just boiled from the kettle for 5 minutes. Strain and then add to a large bowl along with the olive oil and Oporto Vinegar.
- In the meantime, make your tagine yoghurt by mixing all the ingredients in a medium bowl and seasoning to taste. Set aside.
- Peel your onions and peppers, slice, and place in the large bowl with the sultanas and dressing. Mix to combine.
- Season the lamb chops and grill on each side for around 4 minutes, depending on how rare you like them. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest.
- Grill the padron peppers for 2 minutes or so until they are nicely charred and set aside.
- Plate the lamb chops, with the grilled onions and peppers and top with the padron and chopped coriander. Serve with the tagine yoghurt.
