A barbecue is perfect, I feel, for a Sunday. One just needs to rub flavours into the meat, forget it for a while, and then light a fire and grill it over red embers. It is a slow, enjoyable process that fits a day of leisure, and gives one ever more time to enjoy the sunshine! And the wood fire gives a great taste to the grilled meat, like these sizzling Herb and Honey Lamb Chops, which I enjoyed in the garden whilst reading Circé (still!) It felt appropriate, as the fragrant thyme, rosemary and oregano thrive in the Greek climate, and the honey I used is Cretan, too! Happy Sunday!
Ingredients (serves 1 or 2):
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 small garlic clove, minced
½ teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 heaped tablespoon pure clear honey
1 tablespoon good olive oil
250 grams/8.80 ounces small lamb chops
In a small dish, combine dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, minced garlic, fleur de sel and black pepper. Add honey and olive oil, and stir until completely blended.
Place lamb chops into the dish, and thoroughly and generously rub herb and honey mixture all over the meat. Cover with cling film, and place in the fridge, to marinate, at least 3 hours.
Prepare barbecue: half an hour before grilling, arrange a thick layer of coals in the barbecue. Top with a few small branches of dry wood (applewood gives a good taste), and light.
Once the flames have died down, and the embers are red, place marinated lamb chops over the embers, and grill the meat; until crispy and charred on the outside, and juicy and flavourful on the inside, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
Serve Herb and Honey Lamb Chops hot, with Cucumber Salad and freshly picked Cherry Tomatoes.

A Summer Sunday, I feel, is always improved by a nice barbie! Not only because it means spending time in the sunshine, and lunching in the garden (and also less washing up!) But aslo because there’s nothing like the smoky flavour the barbecue gives your meat and fish, and these sizzling Rosemary, Thyme and Honey Lamb Ribs are finger-licking delicious! Happy Sunday!

I made delicious lamb burgers on a grill outside! It was super juicy and flavorful. Always use freshly ground lamb, not a package ones! I also made crispy oven baked sweet potato fries too : ) Hope you like the video!
