GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH PEPPERCORNS AND SAVORY MINT SAUCE RECIPE - (4.8/5)



Grilled Lamb Chops with Peppercorns and Savory Mint Sauce Recipe - (4.8/5) image

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 ensure that they are tender and juicy when cooked.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Savory mint lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.

Remember to adjust cooking times and temperatures according to the specific recipe you are using. Enjoy your culinary journey with these flavorful lamb chops!
