 Mint Crusted Lamb Chops

2 Servings | 5-minute Prep Time | 10-minute Cook Time

Ingredients

1 pound Lamb Rib Chops, cut from rack and frenched

3 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

½ cup Fresh Mint Leaves

¾ cup Panko Breadcrumbs

1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice

1 tsp Honey

1 tsp Olive Oil

3 Garlic Cloves

Salt

Pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.

In a food processor, combine mint leaves, panko breadcrumbs, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, garlic cloves, salt and pepper.  Pulse until mint and breadcrumbs are finely chopped. Mixture should be fairly dry, add more breadcrumbs and pulse again if necessary.

Using a pastry brush, brush the fat side of each lamb chop with Dijon mustard.

Press the mint and breadcrumb mixture onto the mustard to coat the lamb chops.

Place lamb chops in a cast iron skillet.

Bake uncovered until breadcrumbs show color and meat is cooked through, about 8-11 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.

Let the meat rest, then serve over potatoes.
