Lamb braai
Lamb braai is a South African style of grilling or barbecuing lamb meat over an open flame or coals. It's a popular way to cook and enjoy lamb in South Africa, often served with traditional sides like pap (maize porridge) and chakalaka (a spicy vegetable relish). It's a delicious and festive way to prepare lamb for a gathering or special occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs lamb chops or a leg of lamb
- Marinade of your choice (e.g., olive oil, garlic, lemon, herbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and your favorite herbs in a bowl.
- Place the lamb in a large dish and pour the marinade over it, making sure it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 1-2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Prepare your braai (grill) by getting the coals nice and hot.
- Season the lamb with salt and pepper just before placing it on the grill.
- Cook the lamb over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For lamb chops, this is usually 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Once cooked, remove the lamb from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious lamb braai with your favorite sides and accompaniments!
