Eaten in the garden under the fig tree, flavored with wood smoke and herbs – and accompanied by a glass of red wine – this is the summer cooking I look forward to all winter.

Lamb chops
lemon juice
marjoram
salt & pepper

Season lamb chops with salt, pepper, lemon juice and fresh wild majoram. Make a fire with grape vine prunings and grill them.

Great food in the great outdoors.

4 lamb steaks or chops
½ cup peanut butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove crushed garlic chilli sauce to taste

Combine the marinade ingredients and leave the lamb to marinate for a least an hour. Grill over medium – high heat for three to four minutes on each side. Serves four. This marinade may also be used for beef, chicken or pork satay.
