Ingredients
Scale
Mint Herb Sauce
- 1 bunch mint (leaves only)
- 1 cup roughly chopped parsley and tender stems
- 2 scallions (roughly chopped)
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Grilled Lamb
- 2 pounds lamb loin chops
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Make the Mint Herb Sauce
- Add all of the ingredients except the olive oil to a food processor and run until finely chopped. (You may need to scrape the sides down a few times.) With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil until well blended. (You may need to scrape the sides down a few times here too.) Transfer to a bowl; reserve. (Yields approximately 1 cup. Will last in the refrigerator for a few days. You can add more olive oil to loosen it as desired.)
Make the Grilled Lamb
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the lamb with some salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook to the desired temperature. (Medium-rare/medium took about 2 to 3 minutes per side on my stovetop grill pan.) Transfer to a cutting board or other serving platter.
To Serve
- Spoon some of the Mint Herb Sauce over the lamb and serve with the remaining sauce on the side. Don’t forget to pair with Vinho Verde!
