In this very simple recipe, the spices, mint, garlic, and oil form a crust that helps seal in the lamb's juices. Sautéed carrots and roasted potatoes would be nice on the side. Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint |
4 large garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon ground coriander |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
8 (1- to 1 1/2-inch-thick) lamb loin chops (about 5 ounces each), trimmed |
fresh mint sprigs |
Directions:
1. Place olive oil, chopped fresh mint, minced garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in small bowl; mix well. Spread herb mixture over both sides of lamb chops. Transfer chops to broiler pan. Let stand 10 minutes.
2. Preheat broiler. Broil chops until brown and crusty, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Arrange chops on platter, garnish with fresh mint sprigs, and serve.
