55 min

Nectarine rooibos syrup

1	Place the dried nectarines in a small saucepan.
2	Add 1 cup of water, 3 tablespoons of sugar and 4 rooibos teabags.
3	Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
4	Cover and simmer for 5 – 8 minutes until the fruit is plump.
5	Uncover and simmer briskly until the syrup reduces and thickens slightly.
6	Discard the teabags and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
7	Stir in the juice and rind of 1 lemon.

Lamb chops

1	Trim excess fat and any grizzly bits from the lamb chops.
2	Season the chops with salt and milled black pepper.
3	Braai the lamb chops, turning often, until done to your liking (about 5 – 6 minutes depending on thickness, they should still be pink inside).
4	Remove the lamb chops and let them rest for a few minutes.
5	Drizzle the rooibos nectarine sauce over the lamb chops.
6	Serve immediately, with extra sauce on the side if desired.
