- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the lamb chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If fresh mint isn’t available, use dried mint as an alternative.
- Add a pinch of sugar to the mint sauce for a touch of sweetness.
- Grilled lamb chops are ideal for summertime cooking.
