Grilled Lamb Chops With Mint Honey Vinaigrette
This is a superb way to prepare lamb chop because of the heavenly fresh mint honey vinaigrette dressing.
Ingredients
- 8 lamb chops 2 per person
- Black pepper
For Vinaigrette Dressing
- 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon honey clear light
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 20 gr fresh mint leaves finely chopped or 7 grams dried, crushed
- 1 small garlic clove finely chopped
- 1 small 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.
- 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 an hour.
- 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.
- 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 with a little oil and set it over a high heat until it is very hot but not smoking or you will burn t chops.
- Place the lamb chops on the griddle and reduce the heat to medium while they are cooking.
- Cook them for about 6 minutes and turn and cook again on other side for about 6 minutes.
- Place chops on a serving platter with potatoes and vegetables. Fill a bowl with the Mint Vinaigrette and a ladle.
Notes
How To Determine If Your Chops Are Done
Just as a guide, it depends on how you like your lamb cooked:
- For rare the lamb will be soft when pressed.
- For medium-rare it will be springy.
- If you want them well done they will be firm when pressed.
