Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 chops rack of lamb
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the lamb chops for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer them to a small roasting dish.
In the meantime, make the mint glaze. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and garlic. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the mint, honey, white vinegar, garlic, and butter, stirring until melted and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Brush the lamb chops generously with the mint glaze, making sure to coat evenly.
Roast the lamb chops in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes for medium-rare or longer if desired. Baste with additional glaze halfway through cooking.
Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the lamb chops hot, garnished with extra chopped mint if desired, and enjoy!
