Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Sea salt
12 small rib lamb chops (about 2 1/3 pounds)
2 cloves garlic, smashed

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Mix the olive oil, mint, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste in a bowl. Rub the lamb chops all over with the garlic. Transfer a few tablespoons of the mint oil to a small bowl and brush on the chops.

Provided by SippitySup

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup mint leaves, plus more sprigs for garnish
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup malt vinegar, apple cider vinegar would be a good substitute
2 clove garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for lamb, to taste
8 lamb chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
multi-colored peppercorns, lightly crushed, to taste

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: Put 1/2 cup of the mint leaves in a heat-proof medium-sized glass or stainless-steel bowl. In a small stainless-steel saucepan, bring the water to a simmer over moderate heat. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Stir in the vinegar, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue to cook 8 or 10 more minutes, until the sauce reduces some and gets slightly syrupy. Pour the mixture over the mint in the bowl. Let the sauce sit until completely cool. Finely mince the remaining mint leaves. Strain the sauce and add the minced mint. Make the chops: Heat the grill to medium heat. Sprinkle chops with salt and the lightly crushed peppercorns, and grill until barely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve warm or at room temperature with the reserved dipping sauce and mint sprigs if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help them stay tender and juicy during grilling.
  • Season the lamb chops liberally: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices to flavor the chops. You can also add a marinade or rub to help tenderize them.
  • Grill the lamb chops over high heat: This will help them develop a nice crust and keep them from drying out. Be sure to flip the chops regularly so that they cook evenly.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the lamb chops with a flavorful sauce: The savory mint sauce in this recipe is a great option, but you can also use other sauces, such as a chimichurri sauce or a red wine sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb chops are cooked perfectly and that they are bursting with flavor. Serve them with a flavorful sauce and your favorite sides, and you'll have a meal that everyone will love.
