2 garlic cloves
thinly sliced
rosemary
sprigs

For the salsa

290g jar roasted red peppers
1 garlic clove
roughly chopped
1 red chilli
roughly chopped

step 1
Season the chops all over with salt and pepper. Make a slit between the bone and meat in each chop, then push a sliver of garlic and small sprig of rosemary into each.
step 2
For the salsa, put the peppers in a mini chopper or food processor with the garlic, chilli, mint and lemon. Blitz until finely chopped, but not puréed. Add the oil and blitz briefly to mix. Tip into a bowl and leave at room temperature until serving time.

Grill or barbecue the chops for 5-7 mins each side until brown, then serve on a platter with the salsa (stir before serving).
