This recipe can be cooked under a hot grill or, if the weather is kind, on the barbecue. Serve with new potatoes and a green salad.
Serves 4
Ingredients
500g Ardross lean chump chops, diced
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 tbsp balsamic or red wine vinegar or Little Herb Farm Fruit Vinegar
1 tbsp Ardross fresh rosemary, chopped
2 cloves smoked garlic, crushed
1 tbsp Ardross fresh parsley, chopped
Wooden skewers
Method
1 Soak any wooden skewers you are using to prevent them charring.
2 Put the oil and vinegar into a zip top freezer bag, or a non-metallic bowl with cover. Whisk lightly together, and stir in the chopped rosemary and garlic.
3 Add the diced lamb, and stir or squeeze the bag gently to ensure marinade covers all the meat.
4 Leave in the fridge to marinade for at least two hours.
5 When it’s time to cook the brochettes, pre-heat the grill and thread the meat onto bamboo or metal skewers.
6 Cook on the barbecue or under the grill until the corners of the meat begin to crisp and darken.
7 Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
