Dorper lamb chops with peppers and labneh
“The best way to char the peppers and grill the chops is
on a wood or coal-fired grill to get a deep rich flavour, but if not available, a hot barbecue, grill plate or large pan will do the trick." – Matt Stone

1.To make the labneh, line a sieve with muslin or clean Chux and set over a bowl. Place yoghurt in the muslin, draw up the edges to make a tight parcel and secure with kitchen string. Chill for 8 hours or overnight, until labneh is thick and most of the whey has drained. (The whey is great in smoothies or to finish a gravy or sauce).

2.Very finely chop the stems and leaves of the parsley and coriander. Mix herbs, garlic, chilli, lemon zest and half the lemon juice in a bowl. Gradually add the oil and mix until it has a salsa type consistency. Season with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.

3.Preheat a chargrill pan or barbecue to high. Grill peppers for 3-4 minutes until blistered and tender. Set aside.

4.Season lamb chops and add to the chargrill. Cook for 5 minutes, turning halfway, until medium or cooked to your liking. Remove from the grill and squeeze over remaining lemon juice. Cover with foil and rest for a 5 minutes.
