Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Lamb Chops with Mint Orange Sauce.
Step 1
In a spacious glass or ceramic bowl, blend the lamb loin chops with a generous drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, mixed herbs, black pepper, ground coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Step 2
Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure each chop is beautifully coated in the aromatic marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the flavors to harmonize and infuse the meat.
Step 4
When you're ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent any sticking.
Step 5
Take the marinated lamb chops out of the bowl and place them directly on the grill, sprinkling a touch of salt over the top.
Step 6
Grill the first side for 4 to 7 minutes, adjusting the time based on the thickness of the chops, and remember to rotate them halfway through for that perfect char.
Step 7
Flip the chops and continue grilling the other side for another 4 to 7 minutes, or until they reach your preferred doneness; for a delightful medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees F.
Step 8
Once cooked to perfection, transfer the lamb chops to a serving dish and tent them loosely with foil to keep warm.
Step 9
To elevate your dish, whip up a refreshing mint orange sauce by mixing marmalade, fresh mint, vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a bowl until well combined.
Step 10
Brush this vibrant sauce over the grilled lamb chops and serve immediately for a dish thatβs sure to impress.
Step 11
Enjoy the burst of flavors that dance on your palate with every bite!.
