This minty herb sauce complements lamb perfectly, but it's just as delicious with chicken, pork and raw vegetables. Serve with pita bread, lettuce and chopped tomatoes.
Ingredients
-
2 tbsp (25 mL) grated lemon rind
2 tbsp (25 mL) minced fresh parsley
2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive_oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper

Yogurt Sauce: Line sieve with cheesecloth and set over bowl; pour in yogurt. Let stand in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Discard liquid.
In separate bowl, stir together drained yogurt, garlic, mint, salt and pepper. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
In shallow dish, combine lemon rind, parsley, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add lamb chops, turning to coat; marinate for 20 minutes. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for up to 6 hours.)
Discarding marinade, place chops on greased broiler pan or grill; broil, turning once, until medium-rare or desired doneness, about 8 minutes. Serve with yogurt sauce.
