Ingredients

1 rack of lamb about 8 individual chops
½ cup olive oil
¾ cup fresh cilantro
½ cup fresh mint tightly packed
¼ cup white wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1 shallot
1 lemon juice
1 tbsp honey
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

Slice the rack of lamb into 8 individual chops.
In a blender, combine the olive oil, cilantro, mint, white wine vinegar, garlic, shallot, lemon juice, honey, and spices. Pulse until it’s somewhat smooth or until the shallot and garlic are minced.
Add ¼ cup of the dressing to a ziplock bag with the lamb chops. Make sure they’re coated in the mixture and marinate for at least 20 minutes (overnight is best).
Reserve the rest of the dressing for dipping, cover it and place it into the fridge.
When you’re ready to grill your lamb chops, preheat a cleaned and oiled grill to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
Place the chops directly onto the grill and grill for about 4 minutes per side. Or until an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove them from the heat and tent with foil for 5 minutes.
Serve them with the remainder of the cilantro-mint sauce.
