Equipment

Small saucepan
Broiler Pan

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic peeled
12 lamb loin chops 1-inch thick
Salt and pepper
3 Tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon prepared horseradish
1/3 cup mint leaves

Instructions

Take your lamb chops out of the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat your broiler to HIGH.
Place 3 cloves garlic and 1/2 cup olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Allow to heat for 5 minutes, until oil is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Brush your chops on both sides with the garlic oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place on a broiler pan. Broil the chops for 5-8 minutes on each side, and let rest for up to 10 minutes, tented with foil.
To make the sauce, add 3 Tablespoons whole grain mustard, 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar, 2 Tablespoons honey and 1 Tablespoon prepared horseradish to a food processor or blender. Turn it on and stream in the remaining oil and the garlic cloves. To this mixture, add 1/3 cup mint leaves and process until finely chopped.
Serve the lamb chops with mint-mustard sauce on the side.
