Ingredients
8 lamb rib chops, about 1 inch thick
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, kosher 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 the flavors to develop.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
While the lamb is grilling, prepare the mint sauce by mixing the chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, honey, and Greek yogurt in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled lamb chops with a generous spoonful of the mint sauce on top or on the side.
