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

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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!
