Lavender & Honey Grilled Lamb Chops

• 份量: 2 servings
• 准备时间: 10 minutes
• 总时间: 20 minutes

配料

1 Tbsp. Fresh Lavender Buds

1 tsp. Fresh Rosemary, minced

1 tsp. Black Pepper, coarsely ground

1 clove Garlic, minced

1 tsp. Kosher Salt

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

2 Tbsp. Honey

6 sprigs Fresh Lavender

4 Lamb Loin Chops (about 1½#)

步骤

Gently rub the lavender buds between your index finger and thumb to release the oils. Place in a small bowl along with the rosemary, pepper, garlic, salt, and olive oil. Stir to combine.

Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel. Rub the herb mixture into the lamb. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, combine the honey with the remaining sprigs of lavender in a tiny saucepan. Gently heat until the honey takes on the fragrance of the lavender, about 5 minutes over low heat.

Light the grill (I use charcoal). Create 2 cooking zones--a very hot zone for searing the meat and a medium-hot zone for finishing the meat.

Sear the lamb chops over the hottest part of the grill until they form a nice crust on each side, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to to the cooler side. Brush with the lavender-scented honey and allow to cook for an additional 5 minutes (or a little longer if you prefer your lamb more well-done). Transfer to a plate, loosely tent with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
