🍖 Nyama choma (Kenyan grilled meat)

4 servings · prep 15 min · cook 45 min

Ingredients

• 1.2 kg goat or lamb chops
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 2 tbsp oil
• Salt, pepper
• For the kachumbari: 2 tomatoes, 1 red onion, 1 chili, cilantro, lemon

Method

1. Rub the meat with garlic, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Marinate 2 h.
2. Build a charcoal fire and let the coals turn grey: this is grilled over gentle heat, never over flames.
3. Set the meat away from the coals and cook slowly for 40 min, turning often.
4. Move it closer to the fire for the last 5 min to colour the outside.
5. Meanwhile mix tomatoes, red onion, chili and cilantro with lemon juice: that is kachumbari.
6. Cut the meat into pieces and serve with the salad and ugali.
