AUSTRALIAN LAMB

• 8 Australian lamb loin chops, trimmed
• salt and freshly ground pepper

SALAD

• 1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

• 6 leaves fresh basil, torn

TOMATO MUSTARD DRESSING

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
• 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard

1. Grill 3-4 tomatoes until just soft and place in a blender with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar and mustard. Pulse to combine. Set aside.
2. In large bowl, combine tomatoes, cheese, radishes, and basil. Toss with remaining oil and vinegar. Season to taste and set aside.
3. Brush chops generously with oil and season to taste. Cook over medium to high heat on a barbecue or grill for 2-3 minutes each side for medium rare, or until cooked as desired.
