In the base of a food processor, add garlic, mint, cilantro, red pepper flakes, oregano, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper. Pulse into a slightly chunky sauce.

Step 4

Heat the rice according to package instructions. Season with salt to taste.

Step 5

Remove the lamb from the oven & transfer to a cutting board. Rest for 5 min, then slice.

Serve the lamb chops over a bed of steamy rice. Drizzle chimichurri on top & enjoy!
