Spiced Honey Chops
Recipe by Graham
For me, Lamb Chops are always a delight, whether pan cooked with just a hint of mint, or grilled or barbequed with a marinade like these Spiced Honey Chops. Living for six months of the year on the Isle of Man, I'm lucky because the lamb here is rather special. In fact, we sometimes buy Loaghtan Lamb, a gourmet meat raised almost exclusively on The Island.

PLEASE NOTE: This recipe calls for the GRILLING or BROILING of food. In most countries of the world, the term "grilling" refers to heat coming from above the food source. Significantly, in North America, it signifies heat from below the food (such as barbecuing). In the United States and Canada, when the heat source for grilling comes from above, grilling is termed broiling, and the pan that holds the food is usually called a broiler pan.
How to Cook Spiced Honey Chops
- Grate the ginger (skin on), peel and crush (mince) the garlic and then mix all the marinade ingredients together. Coat the chops well and leave, covered, in the marinade, in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (longer if you can).
- Place the lamb on a grill pan (broiler pan) or barbeque grill and cook on high heat for about 5-6 minutes then turn the cutlets over and grill for another 5-6 minutes until cooked to your liking. Brush the meat with any remaining marinade during cooking. If you like your lamb pink in the middle (as I do) you can adjust these times down a little.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
You can try different marinades if you want...
Orange Delight... Juice of two oranges and the grated rind of one - one tablespoon of Cointreau - one tablespoon of dried tarragon.
Mustard and Honey... Two tablespoons of Vodka - one tablespoon of runny honey - one tablespoon of wholegrain mustard.

 December 12 2014Good recipe. Made exactly as written and my husband and teenage son (who's soooooo picky about his food) liked them. Served with mashed potatoes. I would make these again in a heart beat! sydney (2 reviews) |
 August 30 2014This tasted great!! I made the glaze and let the chops marinate overnight. It was sweet and spiced, tasted amazing and looked perfect with the meat alongside baked potato and broccoli. A keeper for sure Raegan (2 reviews) |

Lamb Navarin is a perfect example of how, using slow cooking over a long period of time, a cheaper cut of meat becomes beautifully tender
Minted Lamb Meatballs is a little bit "fiddly" but I've included it because it makes a superb starter for any meal if you are entertaining.
