Recipe: Coriander and Ginger Lamb Chops

If you picked up the Mail on Sunday, you would have seen this delicious recipe! It's a variation on a dish we picked up from a small roadhouse on the way out of Bondi, and the slightly fusion edge enhances the overall flavour.

What you need:

6 Lamb Chops

50g Ginger

1 ripe papaya, peeled and roughly chopped

30g bunch of fresh coriander, finely chopped

50ml extra virgin olive oil

2 or 3 hot chillies, finely chopped and deseeded

100ml Activia Low Fat natural yoghurt 

30g unsalted butter

What you do:

Mix ginger, papaya, oil and coriander in liquidiser, mix in the chillies and yoghurt

Remove fat/meat from top 2 inches of the chop and flatten out meat, removing any extra fat

Coat the chops with marinade and refrigerate in sealed bag for at least 4 hours

Sear on a high heat then grill for around 10 mins of medium heat and the a further 5 minutes on low

Keep turning to prevent burning

Season with salt & pepper and leave to rest for a few minutes before serving 

Recipe: Honey n' Cream grilled Nectarines

What you need:

- Nectarines halved and stoned x 4

- 10ml black treacle

- 5g ground cinnamon

- Vanilla ice cream (or Activia Intensely Creamy yogurt!)

- 20g clotted cream

What you do:

- Mix honey & black treacle and brush over the surface of the nectarines

- Grill face down on a medium heat for 5 minutes or until warmed through

- Serve with a scoop of ice cream and smaller scoop of cream on top...
