• Servings: 4
• 8 -12 trimmed lamb chops
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 chinese broccoli
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry

• 2 heat the grill or barbecue. drain the chops and grill, turning once or twice. the outer meat will scorch as the sugars caramelise – which is good – but don’t let it burn and remove the chops while the lamb is still pink and tender inside.
• 3 meanwhile, chop the greens into 5 cm (2 inch) sections. cook in simmering, salted water for 2 minutes, then add the leaves and cook for up to 1 minute until they soften. remove and drain in a colander.
