Lamb Chops with Yogurt-Mint Sauce

Tyler and I went on an impromptu run to Williams & Sonoma this past weekend and boy did we have the best luck! We found a Chinese bamboo steamer (I've always wanted one), a jar of sumac and za'atar (love!), and the star of the meal tonight, a hot mint jelly, which was only $2.99 for a big jar! Ty came up with the idea to make lamb chops with a yogurt-mint sauce for dinner and it turned out perfectly. Not only was it delicious, but it was so easy to make. We made it in less than 30 minutes. Hope you love it as much as we did!

What you'll need:
2 lamb chops
1 tsp. of sea salt
1 tsp. of sumac
1/2 cup of fat-free plain yogurt
4 tbsp. of hot mint jelly
Handful of fresh parsley

Directions:
1. Season the meat with sea salt and sumac. Sumac has a really tart, lemony flavor. It's the perfect seasoning for a more gamey meat like lamb.
2. Grill on the foreman or on the stove. It should take about 10 minutes per chop. Once it's done, set aside. Always let your meats rest to ensure maximum tenderness and minimum runniness.
3. Now it's time for the sauce! Chop up some fresh parsley. We used the parsley from Tyler's herb garden. Mix the yogurt, hot mint jelly, and parsley in a bowl.

4. And you're done! Just add a sprig of parsley on top of the meat and drizzle a little sauce on the chop or you can set it on the side. It's delicious!
