Barbeque lamb in buttermilk

I've never used buttermilk before; I bought it for a chocolate Guinness cake recipe I made for a bake-off. We came 4th out of 6.  :(

BBQ lamb in buttermilk ingredients

• 2 lamb steaks, cut into large chunks
• Zest 1 unwaxed lemon
• Juice 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• About 150ml buttermilk (1/2 tub)
• 3 tablespoons fresh thyme 
• Black pepper
• Very large pinch salt

How to make BBQ lamb in buttermilk

Mix together all the ingredients and leave to marinade for about 2 hours.

This will produce incredibly tender meat with a wonderful flavour.

Thread the lamb onto skewers and barbequeue, turning regularly till charred on all sides but still pink in the middle.


To go with this I made flatbreads cooked on the grill and a leaf salad dressed only with olive oil and lemon juice. 

I forgot to take a photo.
