Tuscan Herb & Pomegranate Lamb Chops
With Mint Yogurt Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
For the Lamb Chops:
8 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
3 tablespoons Tuscan Herb Infused Olive Oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
fresh thyme sprigs for garnish
For the Mint Yogurt Sauce:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh mint, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Marinate the Lamb Chops:
In a small bowl, whisk together the Tuscan Herb Olive Oil, Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the lamb chops are well coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Prepare the Mint Yogurt Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh mint, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Cook the Lamb Chops:
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve:
Arrange the lamb chops on a serving platter.
Serve with the mint yogurt sauce on the side.
Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
