Best Grilled Lamb Chops With Fresh Mint Recipes

GRILLED LAMB SHOULDER CHOPS WITH FRESH MINT JELLY

Steps:

• Using the dull side of a knife, "chop" the rosemary sprigs to bruise them and release their fragrance. Season chops with pepper (no salt) and place in a resealable plastic bag along with the garlic, rosemary, and pomegranate juice. Seal bag; massage gently to distribute flavors. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• Place orange marmalade into a saucepan. Add vinegar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and immediately remove from heat. Pour through a fine strainer to remove orange rind. Add pepper flakes. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes. When cold, stir in mint (if jelly is still warm, mint will turn black) until combined.
• Remove lamb from marinade; discard marinade. Salt both sides of the lamb chops. Lightly drizzle with about 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil.
• Lightly oil a grill and set at medium-high heat. Cook chops until browned and meat is medium rare, about 5 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
• Serve with mint jelly.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Trim any excess fat down to 1/8-inch around each lamb chop and sprinkle both sides with seasoning salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grate once the grill is hot.
• Place lamb chops on the hot grate and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Rotate chops, to achieve crisscross grill marks, and continue grilling, 2 to 3 more minutes. Flip the chops and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Rotate chops and continue grilling an additional 2 minutes, or until they have reached desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
• Remove chops from grill and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Allow to rest under foil, about 10 minutes.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT MARINADE

Steps:

• Trim fat from chops. Place chops in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, combine lemon juice, oil, garlic, 3 tablespoons of the mint, and the pepper. Pour over the chops; close bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. Drain chops, discarding marinade. Sprinkle chops with the salt.
• Grill chops on rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat to desired doneness, turning once. (Allow 10 to 14 minutes for medium-rare and 14 to 16 minutes for medium doneness.) Sprinkle with remaining mint. Makes 4 servings.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together mint, rosemary, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub on chops. Cover chops with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Prepare grill either by igniting coals and allowing them to die down to medium-hot, or by preheating a gas grill to medium-high. For medium chops, cook 6 to 7 minutes per side (or until firm and resilient to touch); for rare, cook about 5 minutes per side (or until meat is barely firm - but not springy - to touch). Alternatively, preheat oven to 400 degrees; and roast chops 10 to 15 minutes, depending upon how well done you like them, turning once.
• Slice into one chop to test doneness; remove from grill while slightly pinker than desired (chops will continue to cook as they rest). Transfer to a platter. Serve with Minty Gremolata Sauce on side.

LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spice rub and lamb: Stir together the salt, pepper, coriander, cayenne and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season the lamb chops on both sides with the spice rub. Allow to sit at room temperature while you make the mint sauce.
• For the mint sauce: In a food processor, add the mint, parsley, anchovies, garlic and some red pepper flakes. Process, adding olive oil as you go, until the sauce is just loose enough to drizzle. Taste and add salt if needed.
• Heat a grill pan or grill on medium-high heat. Oil the grill and pat the chops dry. Grill the lamb until done to your liking, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with the mint sauce and Baked Sweet Potato with Sour Cream and Mint.
• Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and microwave on high according to the manufacturer's instructions until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Season both sides of the lamb chops with black pepper and place in a seal able plastic bag. Toss in the crushed garlic, rosemary and pomegranate juice in the bag and seal. Place in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• While the chops marinate, prepare the mint sauce. Place the marmalade in a small saucepan, add the vinegar, water and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and strain through a mesh strainer discarding the orange peel.
• Allow the sauce to cool completely before cutting the mint leaves chiffonade and stirring into the cooled sauce.
• About 30 to 40 minutes prior to grilling the chops, remove from refrigerator and allow to stand at room temperature. Preheat grill to medium high heat, remove chops from marinade, season with salt and place of grill. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Top each chop with sauce and serve with roasted potatoes or rice for a delicious meal.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source. To make the chutney, combine lime juice, garlic, ginger, chile, yoghurt, and sugar in a food processor and puree. Stir in the mint leaves by hand, then add salt and pepper.
• Grill the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, by which time they will be medium-rare, or until they reach the desired degree of doneness.
• Serve the lamb chops hot with the cool chutney.
