Grilled Lamb Chops With Mint Honey Vinaigrette
- Total Time: 27 minutes
Description
This is an easy lamb chops recipe with a fresh mint honey vinaigrette dressing.
Ingredients
- 1–2 chops per person
- Black pepper
- Fresh mint
- Sautéed potatoes or boiled potatoes
For Vinaigrette Dressing
- 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon clear honey
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 20 gram of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 small ripe tomato, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- First you need to make your vinaigrette dressing so that it is ready when you have cooked your lamb chops.
- If you are going to serve your lamb chops recipe with either sautéed or boiled potatoes you need to prepare these and begin cooking them before cooking the chops so that they are ready to serve when your lamb chop recipe is complete.
- Place the vinegar, honey, garlic, salt and pepper into a small bowl and mix together thoroughly - a small whisk is useful for this or a fork it you don't have one.
- Mix in the olive oil very slowly then gently stir in the mint and finally the tomatoes. Set aside and leave for about an hour.
To prepare your lamb chops, place them on a board and carefully cut away any excess fat.
- Sprinkle the lamb chops with the black pepper and press it on to both sides of the meat so it is coated evenly.
- Now grease a heavy cast iron griddle and set it over a high heat until it is very hot but not smoking or you will burn them.
- Place the lamb chops on the griddle and reduce the heat to medium whilst they begin cooking.
- Cook them for about 6 minutes and turn and cook again on other side for about 6 minutes.
