Growing up with my part-Pom dad, a week did not go by without a lamb roast on a 
Sunday night. And my mum made a wicked lamb roast.

> The meat was burnished on the outside and tender and delicious inside. We all 
> fought for the shank and burnt bits on the outside of the leg yes it was always
> a leg!

There was also, without fail, mint sauce! The old-school McCormick’s mint sauce 
in the little fat-bellied glass bottle with the green lid! That shit has not changed
since I was a kid and I bet it hasn’t changed since he was a kid!

While you will always find a bottle of that in my pantry, we prefer a fresher version,
and since my herb planter box is overrun with [mint](https://stayathomemum.com.au/recipes/lime-and-mint-mojito/),
there is never a quick cheat’s mint sauce far away.

### Ingredients

 * **Lamb Chops**
 * 4 Lamb Chops
 * 3 tbsp Olive Oil
 * 1 tbsp Dried Mint
 * 3 Garlic Cloves
 *  Salt and Pepper (to taste)
 * **Mint Sauce**
 * 1 Fresh Mint
 * 2 tbsp Red or White Wine Vinegar
 * 1 tsp Raw or White Sugar

[[

### Directions

 * **How To Make Mint Sauce**
 * Combine all ingredients in a jug or jar and mix well.
 * Taste for sweetness, if you like mint sauces a little sweet you can add more 
   sugar.
 * **Lamb Chops**
 * Combine oil, dried mint, salt, pepper and garlic in a marinating dish.
 * Coat the lamb with the marinade and leave it in the marinade for a couple of 
   hours. (If you don’t have a couple of hours 30 minutes will do it).
 * Preheat a grill pan or BBQ over high heat and grill chops until cooked to your
   liking. Generally, a few minutes per side will do it if you like them a little
   pink. Make sure you grill the outside layer of fat too!
 * Rest the chops for about 5 minutes then serve with Broccoli and Potato Mash and
   your fresh Mint Sauce!
