Recipe for Grilled Lamb Chops with Mint, as seen in the May 2007 issue of 'O, The Oprah Magazine.'

Categories     lamb chops     dinner recipes     family dinner recipes     mint

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 c. Chopped fresh mint
2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
6 clove garlic
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
12 lamb chops (cut 1 1/2 inches thick)
Minty Gremolata Sauce

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together mint, rosemary, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub on chops. Cover chops with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Prepare grill either by igniting coals and allowing them to die down to medium-hot, or by preheating a gas grill to medium-high. For medium chops, cook 6 to 7 minutes per side (or until firm and resilient to touch); for rare, cook about 5 minutes per side (or until meat is barely firm - but not springy - to touch). Alternatively, preheat oven to 400 degrees; and roast chops 10 to 15 minutes, depending upon how well done you like them, turning once.
  • Slice into one chop to test doneness; remove from grill while slightly pinker than desired (chops will continue to cook as they rest). Transfer to a platter. Serve with Minty Gremolata Sauce on side.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the lamb chops. They should be cooked to medium-rare or medium, so that they are still juicy and tender.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

The lamb chops are marinated in a flavorful mixture of mint, wine, and garlic, then grilled to perfection. The result is a juicy, tender, and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your guests.
