Lamb Chops with Mint
Grilled lamb chops served with a bright mint sauce and roasted potatoes. A European classic that brings 38g of protein in 590 calories, pairing savory lamb with herbaceous mint.
Ingredients
- 4 lamb loin chops (about 10 oz total), trimmed
- 1 cup new potatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and rosemary, then roast for 25 minutes until crisp.
- Marinate the lamb chops with smashed garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Make the mint sauce by stirring together chopped mint, red wine vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard; let it sit so the flavors meld.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat until smoking.
- Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, basting briefly with any marinade.
- Rest the chops for 5 minutes loosely tented with foil so the juices redistribute.
- Plate the lamb alongside the roasted potatoes and spoon the mint sauce over the chops.
