Marinating and Grilling Lamb Shoulder

We like eating lamb meat!

In Estonia, we had a very poor choice of lamb meat in shops and generally, if you wanted something special or good piece or good price then you had to buy meat from the farmer - we did it also a couple of times and purchased half of the lamb at a time. We made it to portions and packed and freeze for next time to use.


When we came to New Zealand then many of people said that "Sorry we don't have here the good choice of lamb meat because all is going to export". But the next day shopping at "New World" we saw this very meat counter - and it all was a lamb! I even heard angels singing quietly!


Prices were not the cheapest - but we found a good product for us - lamb shoulder chops! They are easy to make, meat is great and it's difficult to screw it up on a grill :)

So, I used for marinade the following:
2 tbs of spice mix for lamb (my own made)
2 tbs of tomato (pasta) sauce
1 tsp of horseradish
1 tsp of English mustard
1 garlic clove chopped
1/4 of onion chopped
1/2 of lemon (juice from it)
1 tbs of BBQ sauce
1/8 cup of olive oil


After mixing it all together I rubbed it into meat, put the meat on the tray, cover with plastic film and let it season in fridge 3-4 hours.


For grilling use direct heat at first - it will close the pores of the meat and make a nice brown look after that put pieces on un-direct heat - cover your grill with lid and cook until ready. Bon Appetit!
