Greek Lamb Chops

I made this delicious and easy meal recently, and we absolutely loved it!  We don't have lamb often, but this was such a treat, and I just had to share the recipe!
I kind of combined a few recipes, and came up with my own, but the yogurt mint sauce is Barefoot Contessa all the way :)

This would be a great meal for a fancy supper, or if you are hosting a get together for a few friends.  It will be sure to impress, and you'll be so shocked to see how easy it is!




Ingredients:

1 16 oz rack of lamb chops
3/4 tsp dried rosemary
3/4 tsp oregano
3/4 tsp course salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Yogurt Mint Sauce:
3 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp minced fresh dill
pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 oz greek yogurt
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper


Directions:

1. Prepare Yogurt Mint Sauce (directions below)
2. Once sauce has refrigerated, heat broiler.
3. Rub both sides of lamb chops with seasonings.
4. Place lamb on broiler pan; broil until chops are browned, turning once about 6 minutes per side.
5. Serve with sauce and enjoy!

Sauce: 
Place the scallions, mint, dill, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor.  Puree until it is a course paste.  Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper, and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours.

(I served mine with quinoa and these Brussels sprouts! Yum!)
