Ingredients
Method
- In a small saucepan, combine the beer, sugar and a pinch of salt, and stir until the sugar dissolves and the liquid reduces by half. This takes 10–15 minutes over medium heat.
- TipYou can keep reducing it for a thicker glaze, as long as you have enough left to brush the chops.
- Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper and cook them on a grill pan for 4–5 minutes per side, for medium and juicy.
- When you turn them the first time, brush them with the glaze; turn them again and brush the other side.
- TipLamb is tender and delicious cooked medium, but if you don’t want it pink in the middle, cook it a little longer.
- Serve the lamb chops hot with a little grated ginger on top, and enjoy them with an ice-cold dark beer!
