Grilled Lamb Chops with Mint Pesto
- 3 pounds Fresh Lamb Chops, Frenched (meaning Your Butcher Already Trimmed The Ribs)
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Pepper
- 1 cup Fresh Mint Leaves
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1.
- Season your racks of lamb chops with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- You may use an All Spice of your choice.
- 2.
- Heat your outdoor gas or charcoal grill to medium heat, using the indirect cooking method.
- Place your lamb chops on the side of the grill where the fire is not.
- The grill should stay covered and be at a temperature of 350 F. 3.
- Turn lamb every 10 minutes to sear all of the edges of the lamb chops.
- 4.
- Cook until the internal temperature of the lamb reaches 150 F. Lamb will be perfectly cooked, and medium-rare at this point.
- When it reaches 150 F remove it from the grill to a platter and tent with a sheet of foil.
- 5.
- Process the cups of fresh mint leaves and extra virgin olive oil (or ranch dressing) in your food processor until you have a paste texture.
- 6.
- Coat the bottom edge of the chops with the mint paste before cutting them.
- Serving suggestions:
