Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add honey, ground cumin, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to the bowl.

Step 3

Whisk the ingredients together until well combined to form the marinade.

Step 4

Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 5

Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 6

Marinate the lamb chops in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.

Step 9

Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 10

Let the grilled lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Garnish with additional fresh mint, if desired, and serve immediately.
