Bring Back The Romance Of Outdoor Grilling With This Valentine's Day Recipe

As Valentine’s Day approaches on February 14, people across the globe will celebrate this enigmatic holiday. Taking a closer look at the tradition of honoring romantic relationships, it might be time to shift away from calorie-laden heart-shaped chocolates and embrace the joy of barbecuing on a PGS Grill instead. Surprisingly, the origins of Valentine’s Day are just as mysterious as its modern-day practices.

Reflect on the fact that Valentine’s Day originally began as a Christian feast celebrating the lives of martyrs named Saint Valentine. The Feast of Saint Valentine’s Day was established in AD 496, and there’s no evidence suggesting any connection to chocolate, roses, or even outdoor cooking. It wasn’t until the 15th century that this day of outdoor grilling transformed into an occasion for expressing affection and indulging in empty calories. While no one knows exactly who steered Valentine’s Day in this direction, it certainly wasn’t a barbecue enthusiast. Let 2021 mark a return to the earliest traditions by preparing a classic Valentine’s Day recipe, like grilled lamb chops with rosemary potatoes.

Garlic & Mint Grilled Lamb Chops

Lamb chops are one of the most tender cuts of meat you could hope for on a propane grill. When cooked just right, the natural juices are sealed in, and the seasoning adds a flavor that’s nothing short of divine. However, you must handle lamb chops with care, as they are quite particular about their companions. They happily pair with thyme, oregano, garlic, and rosemary, among others. For this recipe, we’ll focus on garlic and mint.

Gather These Ingredients For The Lamb Chops:

• 1/3 Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ½ Cup of Chopped Fresh Mint Leaves
• 3 Minced Garlic Cloves
• ½ Teaspoon of Ground Black Pepper
• Salt
• 10 Petite Rib Lamb Chops (2 Pounds)

Instructions For Preparing Lamb Chops

Begin by preheating your stainless steel PGS Grill to medium heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, mint, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, mince the garlic cloves and rub each lamb chop thoroughly with the garlic. Place the lamb chops on a flat surface and brush them generously with the mint-infused oil on both sides. Lightly season each chop with a dash of salt before placing them on the grill.

Lamb chops, much like human relationships, require gentle handling. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes only, flipping the chops just once. The ideal chops should feel slightly firm yet tender when pressed. They’re best enjoyed when cooked medium-rare for maximum flavor. Remove the perfectly grilled chops from the grill, brush them lightly with the mint oil, and serve warm.

Pairing these lamb chops with potatoes is key to creating a meal that truly reflects your affection. This dish relies heavily on garlic to harmonize the flavors. If your partner isn’t a fan of meat and potatoes, consider arranging the lamb chop bones in the shape of a heart for a playful touch.

Onward to the Rosemary Potatoes

Gather These Ingredients For The Grilled Rosemary Potatoes:

• 1 Pound of Potatoes Cut Into 1-Inch Thick Slices
• 1 Diced Yellow Onion
• 5 Peeled and Chopped Garlic Cloves
• 2 Teaspoons of Crumbled Fresh Rosemary
• 1 Teaspoon of Salt
• ½ Teaspoon of Ground Black Pepper
• 1 Teaspoon of Paprika
• 1 ½ Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Aluminum Foil

Instructions For Preparing Rosemary Potatoes

Adjust your outdoor grill to medium heat. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, onion, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Once combined, add the potatoes and toss them until evenly coated. Sprinkle the crumbled rosemary over the seasoned potatoes and gently stir to distribute evenly.

Create two 24-inch lengths of aluminum foil and form a "T" by overlapping them. Place the seasoned potatoes in the center of the T and fold the foil tightly around the potatoes. Ensure the seams are well-sealed to prevent any juices from escaping. Wrap a third piece of foil around the packet for extra security. Place the foil-wrapped potatoes on the grill with the pinched seams facing up. Allow them to cook for approximately 20 minutes. Flip the foil packet carefully and continue grilling for another 15-20 minutes. Return the packet to its original position and open it cautiously, as steam will escape rapidly. The potatoes should be tender and slightly browned when done. If you need to keep them warm, reseal the foil or place them in a pot on a side burner.

Complete The Valentine’s Day Meal With Mint Sauce

For those who can't resist taking their grilling passion to the next level, adding a touch of sweetness to your meal is always a good idea. Should your significant other lean more towards desserts than savory dishes, consider creating a homemade mint sauce to win their heart. This sweet condiment brings a personal touch that will make your Valentine’s Day dinner unforgettable.

Gather These Ingredients For The Mint Sauce:

• ¼ Cup of Finely Chopped Mint Leaves
• ¼ Cup of Boiling Water
• 1 ½ Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
• 3 Tablespoons of Granulated Sugar
• 1/3 Teaspoon of Salt

Instructions For Preparing Mint Sauce

In a small serving bowl, combine the sugar and chopped mint leaves. Pour boiling water over the mixture and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let it steep for about 20 minutes. Serve the warm mint sauce with a decorative spoon for an elegant touch. Your loved one can drizzle the sauce over the lamb chops during dinner, enhancing the flavors with every bite.

Remember, restoring the traditional spirit of Valentine’s Day involves more than just the food. Set the mood with a beautifully decorated table, fresh flowers, and a heartfelt announcement that this is an entirely homemade meal. The lamb chops and rosemary potatoes will undoubtedly impress, but the mint sauce might just be the spark that ignites post-dinner romance.
