Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.

- Once the lamb chops are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the grilled lamb chops with the mint yogurt sauce on the side, and enjoy!
The history of Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chops with a mint yogurt sauce can be traced back to the Mediterranean region, where lamb is a staple meat. This dish has been perfected over generations by skilled chefs who understand the delicate balance of flavors. The combination of rosemary and garlic brings out the natural richness of the lamb, while the mint yogurt sauce adds a refreshing and tangy element to the dish. One of the best places to experience this dish is in Greece, where it is often served as a traditional Easter meal. The lamb is marinated in a mixture of rosemary, garlic, and olive oil, then grilled to perfection. The mint yogurt sauce, made with fresh mint, yogurt, and a hint of lemon, is the perfect accompaniment to the succulent lamb chops. To make this dish at home, it's important to source high-quality lamb chops and to marinate them for at least a few hours to allow the flavors to infuse. The mint yogurt sauce should be made with thick Greek yogurt for the best texture and flavor. While grilling is the most common method of cooking lamb chops, they can also be pan-seared or roasted in the oven for equally delicious results. Whether enjoyed in a traditional Greek taverna or homemade in your own kitchen, Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chops with a mint yogurt sauce is a dish that celebrates the timeless flavors of the Mediterranean.
