Mustard Barbecued Lamb Chops
Ingredients
7 cloves of garlic
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
2 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 Tablespoon of dried oregano
20 black peppercorns
½ cup of olive oil
12 rib lamb chops
1 Tablespoon of canola oil
1 small red onion
½ carrot
½ serrano chili
¼ cup of red wine vinegar
½ cup of ketchup
1½ Tablespoons of Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon of honey
Mix 5 crushed garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, oregano,
peppercorns, and olive oil to make a marinade. Place the
rib lamp chops, trimmed of fat, in a shallow baking dish
or a Ziploc plastic bag to marinate. Set aside to
refrigerate overnight.
In a medium sized saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1
small red onion peeled and diced, ½ carrot peeled and
diced and 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed. Sauté
for 3 minutes in canola oil. Add ½ serrano chili seeded
and ¼ cup of red wine vinegar. Stir for 1 more minute. Add
½ cup of ketchup, 1½ tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and 1
tablespoon of honey. Turn the heat to low and simmer for
25 minutes.
Swap out with sauce that has already been sautéd for 25
minutes. Cool and puree in a blender. Strain and thin with
a little water if needed.
Wipe the marinade off the lamb chops before placing the
chops on the grill. Grill the meat until medium rare.
About a minute before the lamb is done, brush the lamb
chops on both sides with the mustard sauce. Cook for about
4 to 5 minutes on each side.
When you serve the lamb chops, spread both sides with
the additional sauce
