Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until bubbling, then sweat down the shallot, garlic and ginger for 1 minute, until fragrant and aromatic. Add the honey and vinegar and continue to cook, stirring, until combined. Add the Calabrian chile paste and miso paste. Whisk to combine and cook down over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the glaze is well combined and thickened.
  3. Drizzle the lamb chops with the olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Grill the lamb chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, basting with the glaze starting halfway through cooking. Remove from the grill and generously baste them with the glaze once again.
  4. Serve the grilled lamb chops hot, drizzled with any remaining Calabrian chile glaze, garnished with the walnuts and fresh mint.
