LAMB CHOPS WITH CILANTRO-MINT CHIMICHURRI



Lamb Chops With Cilantro-Mint Chimichurri image

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.
