Directions

LAMB CHOP MARINADE
This simple curry marinade helps to tenderize your lamb chops as well as adding lots of flavor.

1. Combine marinade ingredients. Combine Greek yogurt, garam masala, turmeric, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a bowl and stir until fully mixed together.
2. Marinade chops. Pour your marinade into a gallon freezer bag and add the lamb chops. Seal bag and move chops around inside until they are well coated with marinade.
3. Let chops soak . Place the bag in your refrigerator and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
4. The longer you marinade your chops, the more flavor they will have.

HOW TO COOK LAMB CHOPS ON THE GRILL

• Preheat. Heat your grill to 200 C.
• Prep chops. Take your marinade bag out of the fridge.
• Remove the chops from marinade and scrape off excess.
• Braai the chops. Place your chops on grill and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side.
