LAMB WITH MINT CHIMICHURRI
Though far less glorified than rib chops or legs, lamb shoulder is explosively delicious and juicy. Like the shoulders of pigs and cows, it is a hardworking muscle rippled with intramuscular fat, which makes it ideal for the stewing or braising that's requisite this times of year. But the shoulder's not that hardworking, which keeps it tender enough to be subjected to the shorter blasts of heat typically reserved for more elegant cuts.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Mix the olive oil, mint, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste in a bowl. Rub the lamb chops all over with the garlic. Transfer a few tablespoons of the mint oil to a small bowl and brush on the chops.
- Grill the chops until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Press the middle of a chop with your finger: It should be slightly firm with a little give for medium-rare doneness.) Transfer to a platter and brush with some of the remaining mint oil. Sprinkle with mint and serve with more mint oil.

LAMB CHOPS WITH CILANTRO-MINT CHIMICHURRI
This is an adaptation of a chimichurri sauce served over grilled meat. In this case, it's a cilantro mint chimichurri topping some broiled lamb chops. I would imagine the chimichurri would be great over steak, chicken or pork, too. The chimichurri is best eaten the day it is made, due to the fresh herbs used. Recipe courtesty of Ingrid Hoffmann.

Allow chops to sit for 30 minutes. Grill each side for 4 to 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145° F.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled with fat and have a bright red color.
- Marinate the chops: Marinating the chops in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil helps to tenderize and add flavor to the meat.
- Cook the chops over high heat: Broiling or grilling the chops over high heat helps to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
- Don't overcook the chops: Lamb chops are best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so they stay tender and juicy.
- Serve the chops with a flavorful sauce or condiment: A mint-chimichurri sauce or a simple lemon-herb butter are great accompaniments to lamb chops.
