Categories Dinner, Main course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

12 best-end lamb chops, flattened to 2cm thick (ask your butcher to do this for you)
green chutney
1 lime, cut into wedges to serve
2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
2 tbsp ginger & garlic paste
50ml vegetable oil
2 tsp tomato purée
large pinch of crushed black pepper
2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric

Steps:

Put the lamb and all the first marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hrs, and up to 4 hrs.
Blend all the second marinade ingredients together. Remove the lamb from the first marinade and put it in a clean bowl. Add the second marinade and rub it into the lamb, then chill for a further 4 hrs, or overnight.
Light a barbecue with a lid, then barbecue the chops on a high heat until cooked to medium (around 8 mins), making sure the meat isn't directly on the flame to avoid burning the spices. The key is to keep the lid on so the temperature is consistent. Or cook in the oven on a baking tray for 12 mins, and finish off under the grill for 2 mins to crisp them up. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over and green chutney on the side (see our recipe).

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

6 bone-in pork loin chops (about 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon/15 mL cumin (ground)
1 tablespoon/15 mL brown sugar
2 dried chilies
1 teaspoon/5 mL whole cloves
1 teaspoon/5 mL coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL curry powder
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL cardamom powder
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL onion powder
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 mL cinnamon (ground)
1/4 teaspoon/1.25 mL garlic powder
1 teaspoon/5 mL kosher salt

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
Place chiles, cloves, peppercorns, mustard and coriander seeds in a spice grinder. Grind until spices are a fine powder. Pour into a bowl and add remaining spices.
Place pork chops onto a baking sheet. Take rub and apply all over the front and back of the meat. Let stand at room temperature for up to 20 minutes. If you are making ahead of time, coat with spices, cover with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator. Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature before placing onto the grill.
To prepare for charcoal grilling, remove the cooking grate and light the charcoal in a charcoal chimney (look for a red, ashen color to the briquettes). You will need enough charcoal to cover half the coal grate, about 2 layers thick. Place cooking grate over hot coals and open vent. Oil grate and place chops onto grill directly over the coals. Grill for 2 minutes per side. Move to the indirect cooking space (where there are no coals) and continue cooking for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature is between 160 and 165 F.
Remove from grill and cover with foil. Allow chops to rest for 5 minutes. If using a gas unit, set temperature for medium-high heat and cook 8 to 9 minutes per side or until internal temperature is right. After the meat has had a chance to rest, serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
Enjoy.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of meat: For this recipe, pork or lamb chops with a good amount of marbling are best. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.

Season the meat well: Don't be afraid to season the meat generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help develop flavor and create a delicious crust.

Cook the meat over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the meat and lock in the juices. Be sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your chops.

Let the meat rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Serve with your favorite sides: These chops are delicious served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

These Indian pork or lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
