Rosemary-Seared Lamb Chops with Bright Mint Oil

1

Make the lamb chops: Brush the chops with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator.
2

Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to 2 hours.
3

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet.
4

Add the chops and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
5

While the chops cook, make the mint oil: Combine the mint leaves, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a blender and blend until smooth.
6

Drizzle the mint oil over the chops.
