Grilled Lamb Chops with Mint Sauce Recipe
This recipe features succulent grilled lamb chops paired with a zesty mint sauce and an assortment of roasted vegetables. The lamb is marinated to enhance its natural flavor, while the roasted vegetables add a sweet and savory contrast.
Ingredients
- 4 lamb chops, preferably rib or loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Marinate the Lamb: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Mint Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together chopped mint leaves, honey, white wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Set it aside to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. While it’s heating, toss the mixed vegetables in balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the Lamb: Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Roast the Vegetables: While the lamb is grilling, spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until tender and caramelized.
- Serve: Once everything is cooked, plate the grilled lamb chops alongside the roasted vegetables, and drizzle with the mint sauce before serving.
