Ingredients:

                    === MINT SAUCE ===
2     cups          fresh mint leaves - (packed)
1     cup           water
2     tablespoons   honey
1     pinch         salt
                    === LAMB CHOPS ===
4                   blade-cut lamb chops
1     large         garlic clove
                    Juice of two large lemons
1     tablespoon    honey
1/3   cup           minced fresh mint leaves
1/4   teaspoon      coarse black pepper
1     tablespoon    extra-virgin olive oil

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Combine the leaves with the water and honey in a small saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture, uncovered, until reduced by half. Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl. Add salt to taste. Set aside and keep the sauce warm.
With a knife, score the lamb chops on both sides. Set aside.
In a shallow dish large enough to hold the lamb chops in a single layer, mix together the garlic, lemon juice, honey, mint, pepper, and olive oil. Place the chops in the marinade and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is better. Turn the chops over once or twice while they are marinating.
Prepare a gas or charcoal grill, or pre-heat the oven broiler.
Drain the chops from the marinade and grill or broil them about 5 minutes. Serve with mint sauce.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
Comments: My husband Guy loves this preparation for blade cut shoulder lamb chops. He says they are tastier than their high-cost cousins, center cut lamb chops. Try this the next time you grill outdoors, or oven-broil them.
