Lamb Chops with Garlic, Fresh Mint and Oregano with a Fresh Mint Sauce

Grandma’s mint mincer

Lamb is a familiar dish from my childhood and it was always served with a fresh mint sauce made very quickly with just minced fresh mint, sugar and white vinegar for that just right balance of sweet and tart.  It reminds me of my Grandmother and I have her mincer which I always use when I make a mint sauce and think about her as I am mincing the mint. My mom used to make leg of lamb for Sunday dinners and there was always a fresh mint sauce to go alongside.  Lamb chops are so quick to make and only take about 8 minutes for medium rare.  I marinated them with some garlic, fresh mint and oregano, and a little olive oil to bind it all together.  I cooked them on a grill pan on the stove, but would have preferred to grill them outside if the weather was better.  Simple and delicious.  Click here for the recipe….
