PAN-SEARED LAMB CHOPS WITH MINT OVER GREENS
From Better Homes and Gardens, March 2003. For the pecans specified in the original recipe I substituted walnuts, but pine nuts or even almonds would probably work. Another option is to use grapeseed oil instead of olive oil, although that is only if you're brave.

Steps:
- Dry roast nuts in pan, being careful not to burn and set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, combine the fresh mint, parsley, feta, and nuts. Set aside.
- Trim all fat from lamb chops. Rub the chops with about 2 teaspoons of olive oil (I use a pastry brush), salt and pepper.
- Preheat a large fry pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the lamb chops to the pan. Cook over medium heat 8-10 minutes, turning chops halfway through cooking. Do not move or stir the chops until ready to flip over at the halfway mark.
- Cook chops until well-browned and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chop measures 145 degrees.
- Garnish each chop with the mint/cheese mixture. Divide the salad greens on 4 plates and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and lemon juice. Arrange the warm lamb chops on each plate.
- Serve immediately with shiraz and crusty bread! Don't forget the mood lighting!
