Lamb Chops with Mint-Cilantro Relish

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the mint, cilantro, garlic, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper and coat them with half of the herb mixture.

3. 3

   Wrap the lamb in plastic and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice into the remaining herb mixture.

5. 5

   Light a grill or preheat the broiler.

6. 6

   Scrape the marinade off the lamb and grill the chops over a medium-hot fire or broil, turning, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a chop registers 125, about 17 minutes for medium-rare meat.

7. 7

   Transfer the lamb to plates, drizzle with the mint-cilantro relish and serve.
