A delightful recipe for tender lamb chops infused with a refreshing mint marinade, perfect for a summer barbecue.
Combine the lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, and chopped mint in a mixing bowl.
For a smoother marinade, you can blend the ingredients together instead of whisking.
Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Massage the marinade into the meat for better absorption.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Turn the lamb chops halfway through marinating for even flavor distribution.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the remaining marinade.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; lamb chops are best cooked to medium-rare.
Serve the grilled lamb chops hot, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Pair with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
