8 lamb chops, about 1.5 lb total (680 g total)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
Mint Sauce:
1 cup (30 g) fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 / 4 cup (60 ml) white vinegar
2 tbsp (25 g) sugar
1 / 4 cup (60 ml) boiling water

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Mint Sauce**: In a small bowl, combine the chopped mint leaves, vinegar, and sugar. Pour the boiling water over the mixture and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to blend the flavors.
2. **Season the Lamb**: Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. **Heat the Oil**: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. **Cook the Lamb Chops**: Add the lamb chops to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your preferred doneness.
5. **Rest and Serve**: Remove the chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with the mint sauce drizzled over or on the side. Enjoy!
