Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup fresh mint, minced (not dried )
1/4 cup flat-leaf italian parsley, minced (not dried )
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled ( myzithra is good , too!)
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped
2 lbs lamb rib chops (8 chops
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
5 cups mixed greens (mezclun)
good quality extra virgin olive oil
fresh lemon juice

Directions:

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!
