Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Sea salt
12 small rib lamb chops (about 2 1/3 pounds)
2 cloves garlic, smashed

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium high. Mix the olive oil, mint, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste in a bowl. Rub the lamb chops all over with the garlic. Transfer a few tablespoons of the mint oil to a small bowl and brush on the chops.
Grill the chops until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Press the middle of a chop with your finger: It should be slightly firm with a little give for medium-rare doneness.) Transfer to a platter and brush with some of the remaining mint oil. Sprinkle with mint and serve with more mint oil.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 cup soy sauce
1 cup mirin (sweet sake)
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
2 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cups chopped scallions
1 tablespoon dried red chile flakes
2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 racks lamb (about 2 pounds each), trimmed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 tablespoon chopped ginger
1/4 cup each coarsely chopped mint, cilantro and parsley
1 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1 egg yolk
Dash chili oil

Steps:

Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients. Pour them over the lamb and let it marinate for 1 hour. Remove from the marinade and let stand until ready to cook.
While the lamb is marinating, prepare the vinaigrette. To make the vinaigrette, combine all the ingredients, except the oil, and blend. Slowly add peanut oil. Season with salt and pepper and strain, if necessary, into a bowl.
Season the lamb with salt and pepper and place it on a hot grill. Grill medium rare, about 15 to 20 minutes; or cut the rack into chops and saute them in a pan over high heat for about 2 minutes on each side. (Cook the chops in several batches, if necessary, but don't crowd the pan.)
Make an island of the sauce on each plate. Place lamb chops on center. Decorate with cilantro or mint sprigs on top and serve with stir-fried vegetable or stir-fried rice.
