Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 2 thick Barnsley chops
  • and freshly ground saltblack pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 25g/1oz butter
  • ½ lemon
  • 1 orange

Instructions

  • Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cumin and coriander seeds and cook for 3-4 minutes until toasted and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  • Transfer the toasted spices to a pestle and mortar and crush until fine. Pass the crushed seeds through a sieve to remove any husks, then sprinkle the sieved spices onto a plate.
  • Press one side of each Barnsley chop into the spice mixture until well coated. Season all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. First fry the fatty edges and skin side of the Barnsley chops until golden-brown, using a pair of tongs to hold the chops in place.
  • When the fat has melted, pour any excess into a small bowl and set aside. Continue frying the chops, seasoned-side down, for 8-10 minutes, or until well browned.
  • Turn the chops over and place a knob of butter on top of each. Fry for a further 2-3 minutes, until the lamb is medium-rare (or cooked to your liking). Drizzle over the lemon juice and baste the chops in the pan juices.
  • Serve the Barnsley chops drizzled with the pan juices. Sprinkle over the orange zest.
