• Grill the chops until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Press the middle of a chop with your finger: It should be slightly firm with a little give for medium-rare doneness.) Transfer to a platter and brush with some of the remaining mint oil. Sprinkle with mint and serve with more mint oil.

LAMB CHOPS WITH TOMATO-MINT JAM

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup mint, the panko or matzo meal and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium bowl. Add the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon rosemary, the red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix until combined.
• Unroll the "tail" of each lamb chop (the long thin section folded around the chop). Season the lamb with salt, then press the crumb mixture under the tail section; roll up the tail around the filling and secure with kitchen twine. Put the chops on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking. Make the tomato-mint jam: Toss the tomatoes, whole garlic clove, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and roast until the tomatoes are slightly charred, 15 to 20 minutes; let cool slightly, then transfer to a medium bowl. Add the vinegar and sugar and mash with a fork until somewhat smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup mint and season with salt.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; sear the lamb chops until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, turn the chops onto their sides and sear until the fat browns, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; roast in the oven until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F for medium rare, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes; remove the twine and serve with the tomato-mint jam.

• Remove the racks of lamb from the brine solution and pat dry with a tea towel. Smear with herb mixture.
• Brush grill with canola oil. Light the burners under the grill plate and allow them to get quite.hot. Place the racks of lamb on the hot barbecue grill and brown each side. Once the racks of lamb have been browned, slide the rack to the other side of the barbecue and adjust the flames so they are at a medium Low heat.
