To create this mouthwatering dish, gather the following ingredients:
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preparing grilled lamb chops with mint sauce is straightforward and requires minimal time. Follow these steps for a successful dish:
- Preheat the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. This setting ensures a perfect sear on the lamb chops, locking in the juices and flavors.
- Season the Lamb Chops: Rub each lamb chop with olive oil, ensuring an even coating. This not only prevents sticking but also adds a subtle richness. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the meat.
- Grill the Lamb Chops: Place the lamb chops on the grill. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for approximately 145°F (63°C).
- Prepare the Mint Sauce: While the lamb chops are grilling, mix chopped mint leaves, honey, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir well to combine the ingredients, creating a vibrant and aromatic sauce.
- Serve with Mint Sauce: Once the lamb chops are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy meat. Serve warm, drizzled with the freshly prepared mint sauce.
