Servings: persons

Lamb chops
1 large jalapeno pepper
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup fresh mint
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon malt vinegar (or any vinegar you have on hand)
4 small lamb chops (about 1/2 pound)
Pea salad
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 pinch kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch sugar
1 tablespoon malt vinegar (or any vinegar you have on hand)
1 small handful fresh mint, roughly chopped

1
In a food processor or blender, blitz the jalapeno, garlic, mint, olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, and vinegar until smooth. Place the lamb chops in a resealable plastic bag or glass container with about 1/4 cup of the marinade. Shmoosh around. Let sit overnight in the fridge if possible, or for at least an hour at room temperature.
2
When ready to cook, heat a skillet over medium heat and brush excess marinade off lamb chops. Fry chops, 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until nicely charred on the outside and just cooked through on the inside (120u00b0F for rare and closer to 145u00b0F for well-done; add an extra minute per side if you prefer the latter). Plate, then prepare the pea salad.
3
Throw peas into the now empty, dirty pan (where the lamb chops have cooked) and season with salt, pepper, sugar, and vinegar. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until peas are warmed through. Garnish with the mint.
4
Serve lamb chops alongside peas and the remaining marinade.
