Ingredients
- 2 chops rack of lamb
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
Step 2
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear the lamb chops for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer them to a small roasting dish.
Step 4
In the meantime, make the mint glaze. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and garlic. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the mint, honey, white vinegar, garlic, and butter, stirring until melted and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Brush the lamb chops generously with the mint glaze, making sure to coat evenly.
Step 6
Roast the lamb chops in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes for medium-rare or longer if desired. Baste with additional glaze halfway through cooking.
Step 7
Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Step 8
Serve the lamb chops hot, garnished with extra chopped mint if desired, and enjoy!
