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 Barnsley Chops with Big Chips and Crushed Peas

  1. Peel the potatoes, cut into very thick chips, rinse in cold water to remove the starch then pat dry with paper kitchen towels. Place the potatoes in a large non-stick roasting tray. Drizzle over the olive oil and toss to coat the chips. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook in a preheated moderately hot oven (Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC) for 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
  2. Preheat the grill (broiler). Place the chops on the grill (broiler) pan and glaze with half the mint jelly. Grill for 6-8 minutes on each side, using up the mint jelly as you turn the chops..
  3. Meanwhile, place the peas in a pan and bring to the boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 6-8 minutes then drain. Lightly crush using a potato masher, stir in the butter and chopped fresh mint. Mix thoroughly then serve the chops, chips and peas all together.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
if you soften the mint jelly first, it is easier to spread over the chops.
