A leisurely soak in some marinade can make the most hum-drum of ingredients a delight, not only does a marinade add flavour it can also help to tenderise tougher cuts of meat. These small lamb chops were certainly not in need of any tenderising, but were delicious after their overnight dip in the marinade.
If you have not got, or it is not the weather to BBQ then try my oven baked one tray sticky lamb chops with roasted vegetables
