It’s all about the lamb chops when it comes to a delicious way to entertain with seriously simple easy to make food!
Growing up in South Africa, I looked forward to the weekend braais (barbeques). Nothing could top the taste of grilled lamb chops.
They are one of my favorite things to cook and eat. They take no time at all to grill.
The lemon juice, garlic and thyme give the meat a sensational taste. They can be marinated a day ahead.
I would allow for 3 to 4 chops per person…. And pleased don’t forget to invite me for dinner
