I quite like it myself, but for this sort of competition, I'd find it slightly disappointing if it won, as I've never had anything that beats a simple char-grilled nice and pink in the middle lamb chop.

If you can find a good Greek restaurant, or go to Greece, try a Kleftico. It is delicious.I quite like it myself, but for this sort of competition, I'd find it slightly disappointing if it won, as I've never had anything that beats a simple char-grilled nice and pink in the middle lamb chop.

I don't see that this can be a winner as it's way too simple and I've wrongly included four shots but I just had to show it off as I've been cooking lamb chops this way for years and it's soooo nice.
Lamb chops on a rack, salt and peppered.
Grilled until nicely brown on that side.
Turned over, add a little rosemary, coat liberally with Dijon mustard and light muscovado or brown sugar.
Grilled until caramelised, sticky and lipsmackingly delicious.
Didn't bother with a shot of the ingredients or of the plated dish as I needed to get on and eat them but they were served with sweet potato wedges and butter fried courgettes and I chewed every last bit of meat and fat from the bones.

A plated dish is usually what most people would post, your entry may suffer for that. The plated dish is usually the photo that would be transferred to the voting thread. Is your last photo what you would like included in the voting thread?TeeRev said:

You would be surprised how a simple dish can sway the voters. I don't think I have ever entered anything overly complex, but I think the presentation helps. 
Feel like crap, picked up some bug from someone at work before I left, nose running, light headed, slightly dizzy, got a chesty cough etc. Booked this week of work to do some stuff round the house and get the car fixed. Also do some cooking, have all the ingredients for a huge jambalaya (not for the competition) but don't feel well enough to cook it. The lamb I had delivered the other day has a use buy date of 6th November so hopefully I will be well enough before then to cook something. I would hate it if I have created this and was not able to provide an entry.

Ok im out sorry, tried something new didn't work. I took it to the point where I thought I would start layering over some peppers, aubergines and courgettes. Checked the seasoning and its just wrong, it hasn't worked, im not happy the dish is ruined. I could add the veg and carry on cooking and have something presentable but in all good faith I can't enter something that im not happy eating.
Just to show I entered in good faith:

I'm still not sure what to cook. I'm thinking of doing something totally unusual for me and not what i ever expected lamb to be usedfor. In researching this it has opened my eyes to new ideas so in that way this is a great thread/idea to develop cooking knowledge and ideas.
Hopefully if I don't poison myself trying it that is.

I think partly that is what people viewing the cooking comp threads like. People who enter tend to get a little inventive and viewers like seeing what is created, I suppose its a bit like some of the cooking shows you see on TV. They would never enter one but would like to see what gets made as it gives them ideas. Hopefully if I don't poison myself trying it that is.
