ingredients
4 large cloves garlic pressed
2 teaspoons kosher salt coarse
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
6 lamb loin chops one and a quarter inch thick
0.33 cup mint
0.33 cup flat leaf parsley
2 teaspoons red pepper crushed
3 cloves garlic
1 shallot
1 lemon zested and juiced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
directions
Step 1
Mix first 2 ingredients and 1 tablespoon olive oil in large bowl. Add lamb; turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Step 2
Preheat Oven to 350°F. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add lamb; cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Place lamb chops in oven and roast to desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer lamb to platter, cover, and let rest 5 minutes. While chops are roasting, place the remaining ingredients into a food processor and pulse until combined. Keep refrigerated up to one day in advance. Place 1 tablespoon on each lamb chop before serving.
