Ingredients

  • 8 lamb chops
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and olive oil to make a spice rub.
  3. Rub the spice mixture all over the lamb chops, making sure they're well coated.
  4. Grill the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they're cooked to your liking.
  5. While the lamb chops are grilling, make the mint pesto. In a food processor, combine the fresh mint leaves, fresh parsley leaves, walnuts, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic clove, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until you have a smooth and creamy pesto.
  6. Once the lamb chops are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Serve the lamb chops with a dollop of mint pesto on top, and enjoy!

Tips

  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the lamb chops in a grill pan or a regular pan.
  • Make sure to let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and keep them moist.
  • The mint pesto can also be used as a dip for veggies or spread on sandwiches for extra flavor.
