Ingredients
8 lamb rib chops, about 1 inch thick
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the lamb chops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
While the lamb marinates, prepare the mint sauce by placing fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, honey, and extra virgin olive oil into a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
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 drizzled with the fresh mint sauce.
