Use a zip lock bag to marinade by adding the lamb chops and the marinade and ensure the sauce is distributed evenly.
Allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes (overnight if possible).
Use a meat hammer to level the chops out to equal thickness to ensure they all cook at the same rate.
Place the chops down on direct heat for approximately 2 - 3 minutes per side. Keep hold of your bag of marinade.
Remove chops to indirect heat and brush over with some marinade.
Cook for a further 5 minutes before removing and serving with a coriander garnish.
