Tender lamb loin, trimmed and cut into individual cutlets, is a renowned delicacy that needs to be cooked to enhance its flavor without making the meat tough. Yogurt is the perfect marinade and sauce for lamb; it gently infuses the meat with the flavors of the spices in the marinade. Whisk yogurt with dried mint, onion, and garlic and marinate the ribs in it for several hours. After this marinade, a few minutes of grilling is all it takes to enjoy the tender lamb. The subtle notes of mint and yogurt add the flavor and aroma of a delicious Middle Eastern dish.

Recipe:
Whisk 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt in a bowl. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped dried mint and 2 tablespoons grated onion. Mash 1 clove garlic with 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt to a paste; stir into the yogurt along with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Season 8 trimmed lamb chops with salt and black pepper; marinate in the yogurt sauce for 1 to 4 hours. Preheat the grill to medium-high on one side and place a dripping pan on the cooler side of the grill. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the ribs over direct heat until grill marks appear, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to the cooler side of the grill; cover and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120°F (49°C), about 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.
