Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes | Serves: 4

Description:

This is a quick way to get lots of robust flavour without marinating. Brush on a blend of aromatics, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and grill without the wait.

Ingredients List:

• 2 pkg (8 chops) SunGold Lamb Rack Chops
• 1 tsp (5 mL) each salt and pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) soy sauce
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) rice wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced fresh ginger
• 2 cups (500 mL) cooked brown or jasmine rice
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Preparation & Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high; grease grate well. Slice lamb between bones to create individual chops; season with salt and pepper.
2. Mix together garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and ginger; brush 2 tbsp over lamb chops. Reserve remaining soy sauce mixture.
3. Grill lamb chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until instant-read thermometer inserted into centre registers 145F (63C) for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let stand for 5 minutes.
4. Toss rice with reserved soy sauce mixture; serve with lamb chops. Garnish with green onions.

Tips:

• For medium doneness, cook lamb to internal temperature of 160F (71C), and 165 (74C) for medium-well.
• If desired, replace rice wine vinegar with red wine vinegar and add 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, rosemary or thyme.
