Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice to create the glaze.
Step 2: Pat dry 8 lamb rib chops and brush each side generously with half of the glaze. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Step 4: Grill lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, brushing with remaining glaze halfway through grilling to build a sticky, flavorful coating.
Step 5: Remove chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
