How To Make Hot Lamb Chops

Make with lamb chops or cutlets.

1. Step 1:

   Mix ¼ pint (150 ml) of cold water with the tomato ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, salt and chilli powder, whisking everything together with a fork until well blended.

2. Step 2:

   Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce – or a good shake, depending on how hot you want it – and pour the marinade into a large dish.

3. Step 3:

   Put the chops or cutlets in the marinade, turning them over to coat them as much as you can, then cover and leave in the fridge for 2–3 hours.

4. Step 4:

   Preheat the grill, put the lamb on the rack and brush with more marinade then cook for 5–10 minutes on each side, according to the size and thickness of the meat. (Baste the meat with marinade again when you turn the lamb over.)

5. Step 5:

   Serve with rice, couscous or noodles and salad, or with mashed potatoes and green vegetables.

6. Jacket potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, pasta bakes and noodles are all easy meals to cook for just one or two people without making leftovers.
