Mint and lamb are a taste marriage which sends tingles down my spine, but adding Bourbon to the mix... now we're talking! The Barnsley chop is a cross-section taken from right across the lamb's loin. It's big old size means it's ideal for this powerful recipe.
Preheat the grill to 200C.
Place chops on direct heat.
Allow to colour then flip the chops over.
Remove from grill when the chops reach 60C.
Whilst the chops are resting make your Mint Julip sauce by combining all ingredients in a blender and pulsing until smooth. Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce is too thick, it should be a pourable consistency.
Heat the sauce until it reaches a boil and becomes thick.
Remove sauce from heat and pour over lamb chops on your serve ware. Enjoy with golden roast potatoes.
