Grill the Chops: Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.
Rest the Chops: Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve: Plate the Dish: Arrange the grilled lamb chops on a serving platter.
Top with Chimichurri: Drizzle the mint chimichurri over the lamb chops or serve it on the side.
Garnish: Optionally, garnish with extra mint leaves or parsley.
Tips: For a more intense flavor, consider marinating the lamb chops overnight.
