Grilled Lamb with Chocolate Mint Salsa
Thomas J. Story
This salsa is good with any hearty meat, but especially lamb. Because the mint is so potent, we've added parsley to mellow it a little.

1
Heat grill to high (450° to 550°). Rub lamb chops with about 2 tbsp. oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt. Grill, turning once, until done the way you like, about 8 minutes total for medium.
