Ingredients
Lemon Parsley Rice
Directions
- Season lamb chops generously with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and brush lightly with olive oil. Grill lamb chops to desired doneness (145°,F for a nice medium-rare/medium pink center). Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, make the mint chimichurri. Pulse parsley, mint, Gremolata olive oil, lemon juice, Vinoso vinegar, and garlic in a food processor until uniformly chunky. Do not over-process it to a pesto-like consistency. Season generously with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add rice to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté, lightly. Add water and continue to cook according to package directions. When done, fluff with a fork, toss in cumin, fresh parsley and garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with lamb chops and chimichurri sauce.
