INGREDIENTS

8 American Lamb blade or loin chops

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup sweet sake

1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil

2 ounces fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced

1 lemon, juiced

1 small onion, peeled and quartered

1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and quartered

2 garlic cloves

Red pepper flakes to taste












DIRECTIONS

METHOD:

Season chops with salt and pepper.  In a food processor or blender, combine soy sauce, sake, oil, ginger root, lemon juice, onion, bell pepper, garlic and red pepper flakes.  Cover the chops with the mixture; marinate for approximately 1 hour.

Remove lamb from the marinade.  Grill over hot charcoal until medium-rare; baste with marinade while grilling.

Chef’s Tip:  Remaining marinade can be mixed with a cup of chicken stock and heated to serve as a sauce on the side.

Chef’s Recommendation:  Serve the Grilled Ginger Lamb Chops with a refreshing green salad and warm grilled pita bread.
