Who this list is for
This list is for home cooks or grill enthusiasts planning a grilled lamb chop dinner for four. It’s ideal if you want a flavorful main course with a fresh mint yogurt sauce, and you’re handling the grilling yourself.
How to use this list
Start by checking your pantry and fridge for the basics. Buy 12 lamb rib chops, plain Greek yogurt, and fresh mint leaves. You’ll also need a lemon, garlic cloves, extra-virgin olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, kosher salt, and black pepper. Prep the mint yogurt sauce first: chop the mint, mince the garlic, and mix them into the yogurt with lemon juice, olive oil, and spices. Set aside or chill. Season the lamb chops with salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander, then grill to your preferred doneness.
What to skip
Don’t substitute dried mint for fresh—the sauce loses its brightness. Avoid using regular yogurt; Greek yogurt gives the right texture. Don’t forget to pat the lamb chops dry before seasoning, or you’ll miss out on a good sear. Skipping the lemon or garlic will make the sauce flat. This list does not include side dishes, so plan those separately.
What is on this list
You’ll need 12 lamb rib chops, one cup of plain Greek yogurt, half a cup of fresh mint leaves, one lemon, two garlic cloves, two tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, one teaspoon each of ground cumin and ground coriander, two teaspoons of kosher salt, and one teaspoon of black pepper. Cross off anything you already have so you only buy what’s missing.
Before you grill
Make sure your grill grates are clean and oiled. Set out your tongs and a meat thermometer if you use one. Prep the mint yogurt sauce ahead so flavors meld while you grill. Lay out all your ingredients before starting—grilling goes quickly. After cooking, let the lamb chops rest a few minutes before serving with the mint yogurt on the side.
