Yoghurt Marinated
Lamb Chops with Herb Sauce
Recipe by Michael Weldon
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups Jalna Organic Biodynamic Dairy Yoghurt
4 garlic cloves
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 bunch fresh coriander
Juice of 1 lemon
Coles sea salt, to taste
8 lamb chops
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
Method
Peel and roughly chop the garlic and ginger. Place them into a mortar and pound until they form a paste.
Add the cumin and coriander seeds to the mortar and crush them together with the paste until fragrant.
Add the fresh thyme and coriander to the mortar, pounding gently to release their flavors. Sprinkle in sea salt and mix well.
Squeeze the lemon juice into the mixture and stir to combine. Add the Jalna yoghurt to the mortar and mix until the marinade is smooth and aromatic.
Rub the marinade generously over each lamb chop, ensuring they are well-coated. Take care not to double-dip the spoon into the marinade to avoid contamination.
Drizzle the lamb chops with olive oil and place them into a hot pan. Cook until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
To serve, spread a dollop of yoghurt onto a plate as the base. Arrange the lamb chops on top and add a wedge of lemon on the side.
Enjoy this vibrant, herbaceous dish that brings out the natural flavors of lamb with a beautifully spiced yoghurt marinade.
