For the great weekend ahead, one needs a great meal to compliment it. Lamb is never a bad idea. This mouth watering dish would work perfectly for the relaxing holiday.

 

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves


• 1 tbsp cumin seeds


• juice 1 lemon


• 3 tbsp olive oil


• 6 lamb leg chops

 

For the Salsa

• ½ a cantaloupe melon , diced


• 3 spring onions , sliced


• small bunch coriander , chopped


• 1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped


• 1 avocado , cut into small chunks


• 2 tbsp olive oil


• juice 1 lime

Method

Using a pestle and mortar, mash the garlic and cumin together with a pinch of salt. Stir in the lemon juice and olive oil. Pour over the lamb in a dish, toss to coat, then marinate for about 1 hr. To make the salsa, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, then set aside.

Griddle or barbecue the lamb for 4 mins on each side until pink, or a few mins more if you prefer. Leave the lamb to rest for 4-5 mins, then serve on a board or platter with the bowl of salsa for spooning over.
