Grilled lamb chops with harissa butter
The butter is beaten with harissa and put on cold, so it melts over the chops as they rest and picks up the meat juices instead of burning on the grill.

- Beat the harissa, garlic, lemon zest and cilantro into the soft butter, roll it in parchment and chill it hard.
- Take the chops out of the fridge an hour ahead. Cold in the middle, they char before they warm through.
- Stand them on the fat edge first, held together with tongs, until it renders and crisps. Skipping this leaves a band of raw fat nobody eats.
- Then 3 minutes a side over high heat for medium rare, and no moving them in between.
- Rest them 5 minutes with a disc of the cold butter on each.
- Squeeze the lemon over at the table, into the melted butter rather than onto the meat.
