Servings: 4

Ingredients

8 pieces lamb chops
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 whole jalapeno pepper
1 whole garlic clove
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Season the lamb chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the lamb chops to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the lamb chops rest, prepare the jalapeno mint sauce. Combine fresh mint leaves, jalapeno pepper (seeded for less heat, if desired), garlic clove, honey, lime juice, and water in a blender or food processor.

Step 5

Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning or sweetness as desired.

Step 6

Serve the lamb chops warm, drizzled with the jalapeno mint sauce. Enjoy!
