Usually used on pork, the Chinese barbecue marinade called char siu gives a haunting sweetness to these chops, which are delicious with steamed bok choy. Ask your butcher to french (trim) the lamb chops for you. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce |
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons shaoxing wine (chinese rice wine) or dry sherry |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon chinese five-spice powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
18 rib lamb chops (about 3 pounds), well trimmed |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 tablespoon water |
Directions:
1. Whisk first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Transfer to large resealable plastic bag. Add lamb; seal bag and turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Drain lamb, leaving some marinade clinging. Grill lamb until slightly charred and cooked to desired doneness, about 21/2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to platter.
3. Stir honey and 1 tablespoon water in small skillet over medium heat until warm. Brush over lamb chops.
