Steps:
- Pat lamb dry; season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, puree sorrel, mint, parsley, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, about 1 garlic clove, and 1/3 cup oil in a blender, scraping down sides as needed, until mixture is smooth. Season salsa verde with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Prepare grill for high heat (or heat a grill pan over high). Grill chops, turning every 2 minutes or so, until well browned and beginning to char and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 125°, 8-10 minutes. Let lamb rest at least 10 minutes.
- While lamb is resting, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and add shallot and remaining garlic to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is softened and starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add greens; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Return mushrooms to skillet and toss to combine. Stir in vinegar; season with salt and pepper.
- Stir lemon juice into salsa verde; taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve lamb chops over mustard greens with salsa verde.
- Do ahead: Salsa verde (without lemon juice) can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Add lemon juice before serving.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS IN MINT SALSA VERDE
A Saveur recipe.Wow!.I had this as the main dish at my 21st birthday.Everyone loved this,even the people that weren't big on lamb!The way the briney-ness of the anchovies and capers combined with the refreshing herbs was delicious-and helped cut some of the smoky richness.Think Mediterranean salsa verde,not Mexican.Don't be afraid to splurge on a nice olive oil for this if you can afford to:it's definitely worth it and the flavor will shine through in every bite.You could substitute dried tarragon in a pinch,but you should definitely not use dried parsley or mint because it makes up so much of the salsa's body.If you double the recipe only make the one recipe's worth of sauce as this really makes more than you need.You won't mind the leftovers though;the flavors continue to meld and improve as the sauce sits overnight.It's still good a couple of days later if you refrigerate it . I haven't given detailed instructions for how to start a fire/when it's ready;I think most people already how,but in case you don't ,there are plenty of other sources that can instruct you on the best way to do it better than I can,so please don't make this and tell me it turned out badly because I didn't spell it out step by step;take responsibility for your own grilling!:) From Saveur Issue 123,October 2009.

- Wash and finely chop all of the fresh herbs,mix together in a bowl.Finely chop all remaining ingredients-the anchovies,capers,and garlic,and add to the herbs.Drizzle in the olive oil and stir well ;set aside.
- Build a fire in a charcoal grill (of course you can use a gas or electric grill if you want to,but I promise you'll be missing out on a lot of flavor;the recipe says to set a gas grill to medium -hot)When the grill is ready add the lamb chops and turn when one side is browned.and continue cooking to your liking.6-8 minutes for medium-rare.10-12 minutes will give you medium well to well done.
- Drizzle with some of the sauce,serving the rest on the side.

Here is a beautiful rack of lamb chops grilled with aromatic rosemary. The salsa verde acts as a flavorful addition to the simply prepared lamb: it's a wonderful condiment that can be spooned over roasted vegetables, lamb, or fish.

Steps:
- Salsa Verde, part 1: Use your fingers to split open the anchovies and remove the bones. Roughly chop the anchovies with the capers. Combine the anchovies, capers, grated garlic, lemon zest, and the salt in the mortar and pestle; grind them to a paste.
- Salsa Verde, part 2: Stirring constantly with the pestle, add the olive oil a few drops at a time to maintain a paste-like consistency. Thinly slice and add the parsley to the olive oil mixture. Continue to grind until the parsley is incorporated into the paste. Stir in lemon juice and salt to taste. Alternative method, with food processor: Combine the parsley, anchovies, capers, garlic, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse to roughly chop the ingredients. Turn off the motor and scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the motor running, gradually add the olive oil, stopping after you've added half of the oil to scrape down the bowl again, and then slowly adding the rest. Add more olive oil as needed to achieve a loose paste. (Don't mix it any longer than necessary, as the blade will heat the garlic and give it a bitter flavor. Over-processing also incorporates too much air into the sauce, giving it an undesirable texture.) Taste for seasoning and add more salt or lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. (After that, it will lose its green color and vibrant flavor.) Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Lamb Chops: Prepare a hot fire in a gas or charcoal grill, or preheat a grill pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the lamb chops on the grill to cook, 2-4 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Assemble: Char the fresh rosemary sprigs in the fire and place them on the lamb chops. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and rest them for 10 minutes before serving alongside plenty of Salsa Verde.
Tips:
- Choose the right lamb chops: Look for chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are juicy and flavorful.
- Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy. You can grill, pan-fry, or broil the chops, depending on your preference.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.
- Make sure the salsa verde is nice and flavorful: The salsa verde is a great way to add some brightness and acidity to the lamb chops. Make sure to use fresh herbs and a good quality olive oil.
- Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for lamb chops include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
