Ingredients

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
