Lamb chops, burnt aubergine and garam masala butter

5.00

This sharing platter showcases the warming flavours of Bart garam masala with a spiced butter that's used to dress a heap of sizzling lamb chops. The chops sit on top of smoky 'burnt' aubergine and are topped with sweet, caramelised onions. This is a dish that’s big on flavour and guaranteed to make an impact as a centrepiece.

Method

1

Add a generous dash of oil to a frying pan and add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook them gently until golden and caramelised - around 45 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper

2

Light a gas hob or barbecue and char the aubergines directly over the flames until blackened all over. Set aside, covered, to finish steaming and cooking

3

After 10 minutes, split the aubergines lengthways and scoop out the insides, discarding the skin but reserving any juice

4

Combine the aubergine flesh and juice with the garlic, pomegranate molasses, a squeeze of lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Mix well

5

Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium heat, or prepare a barbecue for indirect cooking, with the coals banked to one side

6

Stand the chops up on their fatty edges to begin rendering the fat. Cook for a couple of minutes until golden and caramelised, then knock the chops onto their sides to finish cooking - a couple of minutes each side should do it 

7

Spread a serving platter with the aubergine mixture, then top with the chops

8

Combine the butter and garam masala in a saucepan and heat until the butter is melted and sizzling slightly

9

Pour the spiced butter over the lamb chops, then top with the onions and the parsley to serve
