Grilled lamb chops with pineapple palapa

Putting a Filipino twist on an Australian classic, this is the perfect combination of flavourful, salty and sweet, with a punch of tartness from the vinegar, soy and fish sauce in the salsa making a great match with the lamb.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg lamb chops, at room temperature
  • Sea salt and black pepper
Pineapple palapa
  • 1 very ripe large pineapple
  • 200 g brown sugar
  • 1 knob ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 stick lemongrass, trimmed, finely chopped
  • 20 g red chillies, finely chopped
  • Handful roughly chopped mixed herbs (coriander, mint, Vietnamese mint)
  • 500 ml coconut vinegar
  • 50 ml fish sauce
  • 50 ml soy sauce
Resting time: 5 minutes.

Instructions

  1. Heat a large grill pan over high heat (or use a barbecue). Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Set aside.
