Cook's notes
Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
Instructions
- Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue grill to high.
- For the lemon pepper yoghurt, mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
- Drizzle the lamb chops, broccolini and onion rings with oil. Season well and grill for 5-6 minutes or until the lamb is cooked to your liking, the onions are soft and the broccolini is charred. You can also char-grill the lemon halves, cut-side down until golden or serve fresh. Transfer to a platter, add the tomatoes, cucumbers and a sprinkling of parsley. Drizzle with a little extra oil and serve with the lemon pepper yoghurt.
