Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 6 hrs 35 mins


• whisk together the vinegar, salt, garlic powder, basil, and red pepper flakes in a large glass or ceramic bowl. add the lamb chops and toss to coat. cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator 6 hours to overnight.
• preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.
• while the grill heats, combine the cherries, water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely, 5 to 10 minutes.
• remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off excess moisture. discard the remaining marinade.
• cook the lamb chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees f (70 degrees c).
• drizzle the chutney over the lamb chops; garnish with the mint.
