However winter might be the best season for me to BBQ, I was craving for some summer vibes last weekend. A engergy devouring virus is attacking my system. So I decided it was the right time for a vitalising hot and fast meal. Grilled Lamb chops with a sunny couscous salad with citrus flavors sounds like the right solution to me! At Lidl they sell these lamb chops and focus on fresh vegetables and fruit these days. I bought myself a honey pomelo for the couscous salad and used some pickled lemons for an extra refreshing sunny touch to this plate. I really enjoyed the the grilled lamb chops with the refreshing goat cheese yoghurt dressing. But the star of this meal was probably the side. So stay tuned for the couscous recipe I will publish soon! You really need to give it a try. This meal will be made again for sure on a hot summer day!

Instructions
Wet brine
