Garlic Mint Grilled Aussie Lamb Chops Recipes

LAMB CHOPS WITH GARLIC MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• Prep grill and lamb: Heat a grill pan over high heat until almost smoking. Generously season lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Make sauce: Meanwhile combine all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and whisk well. Set aside.
• Grill: Spray the grill pan with a bit of cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Add the chops to the hot grill pan and sear for 2 minutes, flip them over and cook for another 2 1/2 minutes for medium-rare or 3 1/2 minutes for medium.
• Serve: Generously drizzle each chop with some garlic and mint sauce over it to serve.

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:

• 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.

AUSSIE STYLE GRILLED LAMB CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, mint, pepper, and salt in a shallow dish large enough to place the lamb chops in one layer. Coat both side of the chops in the marinade and leave for 2 hours at room temperature, or up to 24 hours refrigerated.
• For the sauce, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until mixture thickens and reduces to approximately 1 cup. The glaze should be the consistency of syrup.
• Grill the chops for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
• To serve, allow 2 chops per person, with Shiraz reduction.
