After looking around on the web for lamb with mint sauce, I came up with my own version: Lamb chops, marinated in white wine, Worcestershire sauce and fresh mint. Very simple and very fast to prepare.

Ingredients

• 8 lamb chops
• 1 cup mint leaves
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup / 60ml dry white wine
• ¼ cup / 60ml Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2-3 tbsp sour cream
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• a few sliced strawberries as garnish (optional)

Preparation

1. Blend together mint leaves, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, white wine, Worcestershire Sauce and pepper. Marinate the lamb chops for 2-3 hours in the mixture (refrigerate).
2. Remove lamb chops from marinade - keep the marinade.
3. Set heavy pan over medium heat. Add olive oil. Cook the lamb chops until done (ca. 2-3 minutes per side). Remove from pan, keep warm.
4. Add marinade to the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in the sour cream. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in the shredded cilantro.
5. Serve the lamb chops with the sauce and strawberries

Yields 4 servings.

Preparation time: ca. 25 minutes (and 2-3 hours to marinate the lamb chops)
