Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 1 cup (loosely packed) Fresh mint leaves
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the lamb chops with paper towels.
In a food processor or blender, combine the mint leaves, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a smooth marinade forms.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the mint marinade over the chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the hot grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer if needed (145°F/63°C for medium-rare).
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh mint leaves if desired, alongside your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
