I don’t know about you- but I’m really ready for spring.  (Well, I’m really ready for summer, but I’ll take spring.)  In celebration of all things warm, I created this recipe that requires you to dust off your grills.  This marinade is great for meat or vegetables like squash.  I love marinades because they help you create a delicious dinner for the next day with very little effort.  Try making this for a little taste of warmer weather to come.

Enjoy!

Love,

I marinated the chops for at least two hours before grilling them.  I saved the marinade for pork chops.  Because the marinade doesn’t have a strong flavor, it’s better suited for lighter flavored meats like lamb, chicken or pork.

Lamb Chops With Lime and Mint Glaze

Ingredients:

4 to 6 rib lamb chops
For the marinade:
1 cup olive oil
4 limes, zested and juiced (equal to about 1/3 cup juice)
1/4 cup agave or honey
3 garlic cloves
1/3 cup mint roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Directions:

Whisk the marinade ingredients together and pour into a sturdy zip loc bag, reserving 1 cup of the marinade. Gently poke holes in the lamb with a fork and place in the bag for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.

Remove the lamb and grill until done. While the lamb in on the grill, bring the reserved marinade up to a boil. Once the lamb is done, glaze the lamb with the hot marinade.
