Preparation of Valentines Barbecued minted lamb Recipe

Place the lamb chops in a large, shallow non-aluminium dish. Pour the mint sauce over and turn the lamb to coat well. Set aside.

Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with plenty of cold water. Cover and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes or until just tender. (See microwave tip.) Drain.

Brush a barbecue or chargrill with 1 tsp of the oil and preheat on high. Place the potatoes and onion on preheated barbecue or chargrill, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the remaining oil. Cook the potatoes for 4 minutes each side or until golden. Cook the onion, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes or until tender. Transfer the potatoes and onion to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Barbecue the lamb chops, basting with the mint sauce occasionally, for 4 minutes each side for medium or until cooked to your liking. Divide the rocket among serving plates and top with the lamb, potatoes and onion.
