With Mandela Day being celebrated this month, we have some of Nelson Mandela's favourite recipes to share with you. Lamb chops basted in soy sauce were a firm favourite. It was a dish Nelson Mandela enjoyed on a Sunday for lunch or as an early dinner.
Mandela's chef shares her lamb chops based in soy sauce recipe I used to prepare these succulent baked lamb chops for him whenever he spent time at home on a Sunday. This dish always brings back fond memories as Nelson Mandela used to enjoy the rest of his plate with his cutlery but when he got to the lamb chops, he would use his hands to savour each tasty bite. He would not even leave a trace of meat on any bone.
Xoliswa Ndoyiya The most important tip to get your lamb chops succulent and full of flavour is to lavish the chops generously with soy sauce. It enhances the flavour and makes the meat soft and lip-smackingly delicious. One bite and you will want to lick your plate afterwards to savour the taste.
Serve these baked lamb chops with vegetables of your choice. Mashed potato and a colourful mix of vegetables work well with this dish. You can also grill your veggies in the oven.
