Grilled lamb chops are a classic barbecue and summer dish, and this recipe adds a unique twist with the addition of Australian flavors. The marinade of olive oil, lime, garlic and mint gives the lamb chops a tangy and bold flavor that perfectly complements the rich taste of the meat, and the shiraz wine sauce adds an extra element of depth and flavor. This dish is easy to prepare and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next barbecue or dinner party.

Instructions

1.Combine olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, mint, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
2.Place lamb chops in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
3.Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

5.While chops are resting, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour in shiraz wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let simmer until sauce has reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes. Serve lamb chops with the sauce on the side.
