For the piri piri marinade

  • 2 lemons
  • 100 ml white vinegar
  • 100 ml oil
  • 6 cloves garlic crushed

  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp ginger

  3. Blitz the ingredients in the blender until completely smooth.
  4. Use a zip lock bag to marinade by adding the lamb chops and the marinade and ensure the sauce is distributed evenly.
  5. Allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes (overnight if possible).
  6. Use a meat hammer to level the chops out to equal thickness to ensure they all cook at the same rate.
