Ingredients

LAMB

  • 2.5 pounds of lamb chops
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove of garlic finely chopped
  • finely chopped fresh mint
  • juice of one lemon
  • salt
  • pepper

AMMOGLIO SAUCE

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • juice of one lemon
  • 2 large tomatoes I used Ugly Tomatoes, chopped in small pieces
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

LAMB

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lamb marinade ingredients. Toss the marinade over the lamb chops and incorporate it well. Marinade the chops for a minimum of one hour in the refrigerator (or even overnight)

AMMOGLIO SAUCE

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the ammoglio ingredients. Set aside at room temperature for at least 45 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Remove lamb from the marinade.
  • Grill to desired doneness. When you see the markings on both sides, you can see it sweating and it’s done at medium rare (on our grill, it took about 5 minutes per side).
  • When the lamb chops are grilled, spoon the sauce over the lamb chops on a serving platter and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
