These lamb chops are really delicious. It was the first time I tried making one with yogurt as its after-grilling sauce. You wouldn’t believe how that simple touch of yogurt can turn this classic into something else. Sometimes it really only takes that single ingredient to make a huge difference. In the case of these lamb chops, it’s the yogurt dip. This is still a family recipe though. I might have tweaked the measurements a bit, but even my kids loved it. It’s family friendly!
See what our friends from Cooking With Sugar have to say about the recipe:
“Nothing says springtime like lamb. Grilled lamb chops are so easy and flavorful that you will wonder why you don’t make them more often. A simple marinade gives the meat a burst of flavor and the mint yogurt dipping sauce is the perfect fresh accompaniment.”
It’s almost spring, isn’t it? Then this lamb chops recipe is more perfect for you to try. But even if it’s not the season for blooms and freshness, you can still try this for your family to enjoy.
