Barbecue Chilli and Honey Lamb

This is a recipe that I must say I have wanted to try ever since I saw it's picture in a Weight Watchers Cookbook many moons ago, I only bought the cookbook in 2002. I told you it was many moons ago!!

I must say that my favourite meat is lamb, not only for the taste but for it's versatility and I love experimenting with different marinades, flavours, etc, and trying different ways of cooking with it. Obviously no-one can beat a lamb roast (mmmm) but lets face it you cannot eat a roast everyday! Saying that I am sure that there are actually people who cook - I would have to say personally I am border line.... a roast is surely very very tempting!

Somewhat an Asian inspired marinade although it uses some very common ingredients, it was very easy to prepare and the aroma that comes from the barbecue/grill once the meat is in contact with the heat is fantastic.

As you can see we enjoyed some fresh egg noodles and some stir fry vegetables with the lamb. I should have taken a close up of the lamb but we were too busy eating it!! I would say that this marinade would also be wonderful on chicken and I will be trying that in the near future.
