How to Make Grilled Baby Lamb Chops With Orange Mint Yogurt Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Brush 4 lamb loin chops (about 1-inch thick) on both sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Grill chops over high heat for 3 minutes per side, until lightly charred and crusty.
Reduce heat to medium or move chops to a cooler part of the grill. Continue grilling for 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached (internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare).
While chops are grilling, grill 2 orange halves, cut-side down, for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through and slightly charred.
Remove oranges from grill and cut each half in half.
Serve lamb chops immediately. Top each chop with a generous spoonful of yogurt sauce, a quarter of a grilled orange, and a sprig of fresh mint.
Squeeze fresh orange juice over the chops before eating for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
