Ingredients
- For the lamb:
- 1 x Nando’s Smokey BBQ PERi-PERi Rub
- 12 x lamb chops
- 4 x garlic cloves
- 50ml vegetable oil
For the labneh:
- Lemon & Herb Flavour Shaker
- 900g süzme yoğurt or koy Turkish yoghurt
- 4 x garlic cloves
- 2 x tbsp sugar
- 10g salt
- Zest and juice of two limes
- For the caramel hot sauce:
- Any Nando’s PERi-PERi Sauce
- 150g sugar
- 150ml water
- 1 x bunch of coriander
- Juice of two limes
To serve
- To plate up, create a bed with the Labneh, add the lamb chops and drizzle with the caramel sauce.
Method
- First up, prep the labneh - it’s a Middle Eastern hung or strained yoghurt. Add the yoghurt to a bowl with the lime zest and juice. Then add it to a cheese cloth or muslin. If you don’t have either of those, a cheap pair of tights does the trick - so run to the corner shop. Leave it to hang on something free-hanging overnight (I use a washing line) so all the moisture drains off. Or you can line a sieve with a J cloth, add the yoghurt and leave it over a bowl in the fridge.
- Now for the lamb. Mix the Smokey BBQ PERi-PERi Rub with the vegetable oil and garlic and add it to the lamb chops to marinate for at least an hour, ideally overnight.
- If you’re BBQing the lamb, light it and let the fire die down until all the charcoal is white. Or you can use a normal grill. Cook for about three minutes on each side or until the lamb fat is dancing and has a nice char on it. Then leave to rest.
- While you wait, add the water and sugar to a saucepan and cook gently on a medium heat until it’s a light amber colour. In a bowl, add a good splash of your favourite Nando’s PERi-PERi Sauce (I use Hot) and mix with the lime juice and coriander. Then stir in the caramel.
