- 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp ground cumin
For the chimichurri
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, tightly packed
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, tightly packed
- 3 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

For searing

Instructions
- 1
Make the chimichurri: finely chop the parsley and mint by hand (or pulse 5–6 times in a food processor — the sauce should be textured, not pureed). Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the garlic-infused oil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp salt until combined. Set aside at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Pat the lamb chops completely dry with paper towels. Rub both sides evenly with the garlic-infused oil, then season all over with the kosher salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
