Herb-Marinated Grilled Lamb Loin Chops

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

3 tablespoons olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses

1 cup finely chopped fresh mint

½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

2 scallions (green onions), finely chopped

6 lamb loin chops

Freshly ground black pepper

Parsley-Mint Sauce (here), for serving

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, mint, parsley, and scallions until well combined. Put the lamb in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the marinade, seal the bag, and massage the marinade onto all sides of the chops. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

When ready to cook, heat a grill to medium.

Remove the chops from the marinade; discard the marinade. Season with pepper, if desired. Grill the chops for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, for medium. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Serve with Parsley-Mint Sauce.
