Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add honey, ground cumin, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to the bowl.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined to form the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the lamb chops in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Let the grilled lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with additional fresh mint, if desired, and serve immediately.
