Brazilian-style braai lamb chops

Here’s a recipe for Brazilian-style braai lamb chops, inspired by the flavors of Brazil’s traditional churrasco barbecue:

Ingredients:

  • 8 lamb chops
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  2. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are coated evenly. Massage the marinade into the meat to enhance the flavor. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
  3. Preheat your braai (barbecue) to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
  5. Place the lamb chops on the preheated braai grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness. While grilling, baste the lamb chops occasionally with the reserved marinade to keep them moist and flavorful.
  6. Once the lamb chops are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  7. Serve the Brazilian-style braai lamb chops hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. They pair well with traditional Brazilian sides like rice, black beans, farofa (toasted cassava flour), and a fresh salad.

Enjoy the succulent and flavorful Brazilian-style braai lamb chops, perfect for a festive and delicious meal!

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.

  • 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.

  4. Remove the lamb chops from the fridge and allow the meat to come to room temperature while you heat your grill. Lightly oil the grill rack or a grilling basket to prevent the meat from sticking

  6. Cook the lamb chops for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the cuts of meat. Be careful of flames from fat drippings, which can scorch the meat.
  7. Serve immediately, or hold the lamb chops warm for a short while by wrapping in aluminum foil and leaving to the side of the grill away from direct heat.

Ingredients

  • 2 x racks lamb ribs, approximately 700g each
  • 8 sprigs fresh Rosemary, divided
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & Pepper

Directions

  1. Place the lamb racks on a large tray or dish, and season well with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle well with olive oil to coat, also on both sides.
  2. Roughly chop 6 sprigs of Rosemary, setting the other two aside. Sprinkle the rosemary and garlic all over the racks, then cover them and place in the fridge overnight.
  3. Prepare a braai for two-zone cooking (see link above for instructions). Take racks out of fridge, and brush off the majority of the chopped rosemary and garlic.
  4. Place the lamb racks on the indirect side, and braai for 20 minutes, then flip and braai the other side for 20 minutes, have the lid closed for both cooks.
  5. Stoke the coals then throw the remaining rosemary sprigs directly on them, they will create 2-3 minutes of great rosemary-scented smoke (if you’re using gas, omit the burning rosemary and just turn the gas to highest setting). Immediately place the ribs over the direct heat, and sear for 4-6 minutes per side, until a nice char has developed.
