Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 0.5 cup Mint jelly
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the mint jelly and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, mint leaves, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened.
Lightly season both sides of the lamb chops with salt and pepper.
Using a spoon or pastry brush, spread the mint jelly and mustard mixture evenly over the top side of each lamb chop.
Press a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture onto the mint jelly layer, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well.
Place the lamb chops crust-side up on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness (medium-rare internal temperature is 145°F).
Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb chops hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
