Red capsicum mayonnaise with grilled lamb chopsMarina Oliphant

Time:< 30 mins

A quick and delicious accompaniment to grilled meats.

Ingredients

1 red capsicum
1 cup mayonnaise
a pinch sweet paprika
8 small lamb loin chops
2 cups watercress sprigs
2 tsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Preheat oven to 200C. Place 1 red capsicum on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes, then place in a plastic bag for 10 minutes so it's easier to peel. Remove skin and seeds. Coarsely chop capsicum and mix half with 1 cup mayonnaise and a pinch sweet paprika.
Cook 8 small lamb loin chops on a preheated medium-hot barbecue or char-grill for 4 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking.
Place remaining capsicum in a bowl with 2 cups watercress sprigs, 2 tsp red wine vinegar and 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
Top lamb chops with capsicum mayonnaise and serve with watercress salad and mashed potato.
