Lamb Chops With Mint And Mustard Dipping Sauce

Directions

1. Preheat broiler to high. Place garlic in a small saucepan and add in 2/3 c. oil, to cover. Heat oil and garlic over low heat for 5 min. Remove oil from heat. Arrange lamb chops on broiler pan. Drizzle 3 teaspoonfuls of the garlic oil over the lamb and spread the oil over the chops with a brush to coat proportionately. Season chops with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
2. To a food processor or possibly blender, add in mustard, vinegar, honey. Turn processor or possibly blender on and stream in remaining garlic and oil. Turn the processor or possibly blender off and add in mint to the container. Pulse and grind the dipping sauce to incorporate the leaves.
3. Broil chops 3 min on each side, then let them rest up to 10 min for the juices to distribute. The lamb will be cooked to medium.
4. Serve 3 chops per person with dipping sauce portioned in radicchio leaves along side the chops. Garnish with sprigs of mint. Tomatoes Stuffed With Tabbouleh Salad and White Beans With Thyme make wonderful side dishes (see recipes).
5. This recipe yields 4 servings.
