Ingredients
- 8 lamb chops, about 3/4 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Instructions
- Before starting, gather all your ingredients and tools. This will make the cooking process smoother.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to about 400°F.
- Brush each lamb chop with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
- Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy; it should read 145°F for medium-rare.
- While the lamb chops are grilling, prepare the mint sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped mint, apple cider vinegar, sugar, water, and minced garlic.
- Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors, then remove from heat.
- Once lamb chops are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Resting helps retain their juices.
- Serve the lamb chops with a generous amount of mint sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy your meal!
