Description
Tender and flavorful grilled lamb chops marinated with garlic, rosemary, and olive oil, served with a fresh mint sauce that perfectly complements the rich taste of the lamb.
Ingredients
8 lamb rib chops, about 1 inch thick
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and rub the marinade evenly over both sides of each chop. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes while preparing the mint sauce.
To make the mint sauce, combine fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, honey, Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place them on the hot grill.
Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled lamb chops topped with the fresh mint sauce.
