Notes

Optional Seasonings

Barnsley Lamb Chops taste great seasoned with salt and pepper or add extra flavours using herbs, spices or rubs.

Herbs

Herbs are optional, but add some dried herbs when adding salt and pepper for that extra layer of flavour. We like to add mint for a classic pairing with lamb. However, thyme, oregano and rosemary can be used instead.

Spices

Add a pinch of your favourite spice to the Barnsley chop before cooking; try chilli flakes, smoked paprika or cumin.

Rubs

Dry Rubs are available to buy at supermarkets or butchers or create your own using a mixture of your favourite spices, herbs and seasonings.

Cooking Time

These are the cooking times to follow for a 1.5 inch lamb chop

Medium-Rare

Cook the barnsley chop for 4-5 minutes on each side.

Medium

If you prefer your chops cooked medium, cook for 6-7 minutes on each side.

Well done

For well done chops you will need to cook for an additional 8-9 minutes on each side.
