Sate Lamb Chops

 

When my children and their spouses gather at the family table, it is always a special meal. This time it is grilled lamb chops marinated in Thai sate spices along with a host of other dishes. These gatherings give me chance to flex the spatula, indulge in my favorite pastime and feel that familial warmth flood my heart. 

Trimmed of fat, lamb chops are marinated overnight in turmeric, coriander, cumin, black pepper, garlic paste, brown sugar and coconut milk. Grilled for two minutes per side, they are succulent, tasty and reminiscent of the Asian sates we love.

But I will not claim all the credit. After all, the grilling is done by my obliging husband. And the boys that watch him flip the chops!

SATE LAMB CHOPS

Serves 4-6 as one course of many

16 Lamb Chops

1 tablespoon Garlic Paste

1 teaspoon Coriander Powder

1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder

1 teaspoon Cumin Powder

1 teaspoon ground Black Pepper

1 teaspoon Brown Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt

1/2 cup Coconut Milk

Mix all the spices together in a bowl.

Trim fat off the chops. 

Place the chops in plastic bag. 

Pour marinate into bag and scrunch so all the chops are coated. 

Zip bag closed and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. 

Heat your grill. I used an outdoor gas grill. You could use a stove top ridged grill as well. Cook the chops a little longer if you use this method.

When the temperature reaches 500F, place chops on the grill.

After two minutes turn them over and cook for a further 2 minutes. 

 We like chops medium rare. Add more grilling time if you like them well done. 

Arrange chops on a platter and dig in!

Dinner is relished. The lamb chops are all gone and so are the kids...Till the next time.....
