Ingredients
Lamb Chops:
8 lamb chops
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Mint Oil:
ΒΌ cup mint leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Make the lamb chops: Brush chops with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator, 15 minutes to 2 hours.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add chops and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
While the chops are cooking, make the mint oil: Combine mint leaves, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a blender; blend until smooth.
Drizzle mint oil over chops.
Tips
If marinating lamb chops for 2 hours, remove them from the refrigerator 10 minutes before you want to cook them.
