Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole jalapeno pepper
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the lamb chops to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes.
While the lamb chops rest, prepare the jalapeno mint sauce. Combine fresh mint leaves, jalapeno pepper (seeded for less heat, if desired), garlic clove, honey, lime juice, and water in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning or sweetness as desired.
Serve the lamb chops warm, drizzled with the jalapeno mint sauce. Enjoy!
