Ingredients for Honey And Balsamic Lamb Chops

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt And Black Pepper
  • 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)

How to Make Honey And Balsamic Lamb Chops

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick) to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer for a more intense flavor).
  4. Place the marinated lamb chops in a baking dish. Roast for 10 minutes.
  5. Baste the lamb chops with the remaining marinade and continue roasting for another 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F (57-60°C) for medium-rare.
  6. Alternatively, grill the lamb chops over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, basting frequently with the marinade. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F (57-60°C).
  7. Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite side dish – a vibrant Beetroot Leaf and Ricotta Salad is highly recommended!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
