Ingredients

Lamb
  • 8-12 Quality Mark lamb cutlets

  • 2 bunches, trimmed asparagus spears

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

  • 12, quartered cherry tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup, crumbled feta cheese

To serve
  • lemon

  • mixed vegetables

Method

1

Place the lamb chops and asparagus (or beans, if using) in 2 separate dishes; pour the combined olive oil and lemon juice over both.

2

Season with salt and pepper and brush each with honey.

3

Preheat the barbecue flat-plate or char-grill plate to hot before adding the lamb.

4

When you barbecue don't turn the meat too often, the rule is - turn meat once only. Use tongs never a barbecue fork to turn the meat, piercing the meat with the fork will drain the juices from the meat onto the grill or barbecue plate.

5

Cook on one side until the first sign of moisture appears.

6

Cook lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium or until done to your liking.

7

Turn lamb once only.

8

Test the lamb for degree of doneness with tongs. Rare is soft, medium feels springy and well done is very firm.

9

Remove lamb from heat, loosely cover with foil and rest lamb for 2 minutes before serving.

10

While the lamb is cooking, add the asparagus to the barbecue and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden and tender.

11

To serve place the lamb and asparagus on plates, scatter the cherry tomatoes and feta over the top.
