Instructions
Salsa: Cut all the Salsa ingredients into small dice. Place all the ingredients in a frying pan or small pot and place on BBQ. Cook for approx. 12 – 15 minutes until it gets a little sticky.
Rub: While salsa is cooking mix together the chopped Rosemary & mint, garlic, oil, lime zest and juice with freshly ground pepper.
Spoon the rub over the lamb chops and place directly until BBQ and cook Lamb Chops for approx. 6 minutes. If using leg of lamb have it boned and butterflied by your butcher. Spread rub on it and turn often during cooking. Serve with salsa and fresh squeezed lime juice.
Brian’s Tips: Serve the lamb sliced with salsa and some yoghurt in naan bread or pitta pocked. Salsa also great with lamb burgers.
