Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Put mint, parsley, oil, vinegar, and sugar into a blender or food processor and process until mixture is smooth and thickened. Adjust sugar, if desired, and season to taste with salt.

2. Trim excess fat from lamb. Broil 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. (You can also cook the chops on top of the stove. Heat a large, heavy skillet rubbed with some of the fat from chops. Add chops and cook, over medium-high heat, 2 to 4 minutes for medium-rare; turn chops once.) Season chops lightly with salt and pepper.

3. Serve sauce over and to the side of lamb, or pass sauce at table.
