Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.

Method

7 steps

finish · 3m
Chops salted on both sides and rubbed with the oil and oregano.
rest · 30m walk away
Left out of the fridge for half an hour. Cold meat straight onto fierce heat seizes and cooks unevenly.
chop · 7m
Onion sliced paper thin and tossed with sumac and lemon, tomatoes and peppers halved, garlic crushed into the yoghurt.
grill · 14m
Griddle or coals as hot as they will go. Chops down and left alone until they lift freely, then turned once — pressing them flat only pushes the juice out into the fire. Lamb is good with some pink left in the middle.
grill · 8m
Stood on their fatty edge with the tongs for the last minute so the fat crisps, and the vegetables charred alongside until their skins blacken and slip.
rest · 5m walk away
Onto a warm plate, loosely covered.
finish · 4m
Bread warmed in whatever fat is left in the pan, chops laid on it, sumac onion over, yoghurt and lemon alongside.

Worth knowing

The Gulf grill order that needs no menu — lamb chops are priced by the piece and judged entirely on the char.

Lamb is a complete protein dense in zinc and B12; the visible fat renders off over a real flame.
