Method

step 1

If you are using racks of lamb cut them into individual chops. Whizz the marinade ingredients together in a food processor. Pour over the chops and marinate in the fridge overnight or for at least a couple of hours. Mix the chilli sauce ingredients together and set aside.
step 2

Put the cucumbers in a bowl and pour the other ingredients over. Mix well and set aside.
step 3

Heat your barbecue or griddle pan. Wipe the excess marinade off the lamb chops and brush lightly with a little oil to keep them from sticking. Grill for 2 minutes each side, then brush a small amount of the chilli sauce on both sides. Wrap in foil to rest for 10 minutes.
step 4

Serve the chops with the salad and the chilli sauce.
