Cooking time

Serves

4

Ingredients

  • 4 lean Barnsley (or double loin) chops
  • 4 fresh rosemary sprigs, finely chopped
  • Large handful fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • 60ml/4tbsp redcurrant jelly
  • 12 small cherry tomatoes on the vine
  • 45ml/3tbsp rapeseed or olive oil
  • Salt and freshly milled black pepper

Method

1. In a small bowl mix together the herbs, redcurrant jelly, oil and seasoning.

2. Place each chop on a large foil square and brush generously on both sides with the herb mix. Put three tomatoes on top of each chop. Seal the foil to form a parcel.

3. Cook on a prepared barbecue with a lid for 12-16 minutes. 3-4 minutes before the end of the cooking time loosely open the parcels and continue to cook under the covered barbecue.

4. Serve the chops with a green salad with spinach leaves and focaccia or flat bread.

Tip: Alternatively, preheat the oven to Gas mark 6, 200°C/400°F, pop the parcels on a baking sheet and cook for 25-30 minutes. 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, gently open the parcels, and return to the oven for the remainder of the cooking time.
