How to Prepare

1

Mix the mashed kiwi, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, cardamom, paprika, onion powder and salt into a marinade.

2

Coat the lamb chops well and leave to marinate for at least an hour.

3

For the filling, combine the rice with the chopped tomato, onion, parsley, mint, spices, salt and olive oil.

4

Place a little filling on each vine leaf and roll tightly.

5

Arrange the rolls in a pot, cover with water and simmer until the rice is cooked.

6

Grill or pan-sear the marinated lamb chops to your liking.

7

Serve the lamb chops alongside the stuffed vine leaves.

Chef Noor's Tip

The kiwi in the marinade naturally tenderises the lamb, so don’t leave it longer than a couple of hours.
