Grilled and Glazed Lamb Chops
8 meaty lamb chops
for the marinade:
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
zest of 1 lime
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
In a small bowl, stir together all the marinade
ingredients. Continue stirring until the
honey has dissolved. Place the lamb
chops in a re-sealable plastic bag or shallow glass dish and pour the marinade
over top. Let stand at room temperature
for ½ hour, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
Preheat barbecue on MEDIUM HIGH. Clean grids thoroughly and grease the grids
with vegetable oil. Reduce heat to
MEDIUM and place chops on the grill, reserving the marinade. Cook for a total
of 12 minutes, turning three times for perfect grill marks. At the same time, pour the reserved marinade
into a small saucepan and bring to a boil for 3-4 minutes.
Serve the chops on heated dinner plates, and pour some of the
glaze over top.

On another note, we are thrilled when we hear that we have inspired people to try some of our recipes and tips. Last week, in response to our Fish Taco blog, Ben sent us a photo of the Tacos that he and Elaine prepared . They look so fresh and flavourful-yummy!
We are also delighted when we are sent ideas of dishes that inspire us to develop recipes, for grilling or otherwise. Here are 2 things that we will be working on in the next couple of weeks, thanks to Ben, Elaine and Charlie!!
Charlie was looking for a quick and easy (and dare we say, Frugal?) Friday night dinner idea for a last-minute pre-pub gathering. We suggested a recipe for Chicken Dijonnaise, from the Silver Palate, and this was the delicious result. Charlie and his friend John are the authors of their own food blog, Austerilicious.
Elaine developed a recipe for chicken, crusted with Dukkah! Well, we had never heard of it before, but after a bit of research, we learned that Dukkah is an Egyptian spice blend consisting of a mixture of herbs, nuts, usually hazelnut, and spices. It is often served with bread, or as a dip. Elaine used it to create a crunchy coating on roasted chicken. We will try it on salmon too. Thanks
for the inspiration!
