Provided by SippitySup

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup mint leaves, plus more sprigs for garnish
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup malt vinegar, apple cider vinegar would be a good substitute
2 clove garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for lamb, to taste
8 lamb chops
1 tablespoon olive oil
multi-colored peppercorns, lightly crushed, to taste

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: Put 1/2 cup of the mint leaves in a heat-proof medium-sized glass or stainless-steel bowl. In a small stainless-steel saucepan, bring the water to a simmer over moderate heat. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Stir in the vinegar, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue to cook 8 or 10 more minutes, until the sauce reduces some and gets slightly syrupy. Pour the mixture over the mint in the bowl. Let the sauce sit until completely cool. Finely mince the remaining mint leaves. Strain the sauce and add the minced mint. Make the chops: Heat the grill to medium heat. Sprinkle chops with salt and the lightly crushed peppercorns, and grill until barely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve warm or at room temperature with the reserved dipping sauce and mint sprigs if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your lamb chops will taste. Look for lamb chops that are fresh, well-marbled, and have a good amount of fat.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the lamb chops in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple olive oil, garlic, and herb marinade is always a good choice.
  • Cook the lamb chops over high heat: Lamb chops should be cooked over high heat so that they develop a nice crust on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. You can cook the lamb chops in a skillet, on a grill, or under a broiler.
  • Don't overcook the lamb chops: Lamb chops are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium. If you overcook them, they will become tough and dry.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: After you cook the lamb chops, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Savory mint lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your lamb chops turn out perfectly every time. Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also add a mint sauce or yogurt sauce to the lamb chops for extra flavor.
