What each ingredient does
- Lamb chops
- Provide the main protein, which browns on the surface while the inside cooks through.
- Salt
- Seasons the meat and helps draw out flavour from the surface.
The step that matters
Lay the chops on a gridiron and broil them to a nice pale brown. Broiling over a bright, clear fire needs turning as the chops cook, since heat browns the surface quickly. Turning them evenly keeps the outside from scorching before the inside is done.
