Lamb Chops With Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, large
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/3 cup unsalted creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon green curry paste, Thai
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce, Asian
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
8 lamb loin chops, 1-inch thick

Preparation

In food processor, pulse the garlic and cilantro until finely chopped.
Add all other ingredients except the lamb; pulse until a paste forms.
Spread 1/4 cup of the paste over the chops.
In a saucepan, whisk remaining paste with 1/3 cup of water.
Warm the sauce over low heat; it should be pourable.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
Grill the chops over a medium-high fire for 4 minutes per side, or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a chop registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium rare.
Transfer the chops to a platter.
Spoon some warm peanut sauce over the lamb chops and serve, passing the extra sauce on the side.
