Preparation
- Step 1
Combine the garlic, herbs, peppercorns and olive oil. Pour over the lamb and refrigerate overnight.

To make the sauce, heat the canola oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and garlic and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the chili and vinegar and stir 1 minute. Add the ketchup, mustard and honey. Turn the heat to low and simmer 25 minutes. Let cool slightly and puree in a blender. Strain. Thin with a little water, if needed.

Start a charcoal grill. Wipe the marinade off the lamb and grill the meat until medium rare. About a minute before the lamb is done, brush the lamb on both sides with the sauce. Serve with additional sauce.

Wonderful recipe. The lamb chops were tender and tasty. I loved the sauce, just enough but certainly not over-powering. I used a sprinkle of chili flakes instead of the serrano pepper. And there really wasn't enough sauce for me to want to dirty the blender so I used my immersion blender but the sauce really was cooked done enough that it really didn't need that. Looking forward to doing this again.
