About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Stand the chops on their fatty edge first for a minute — rendered fat means crisp edges and flavor in the pan.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Finely chop mint with the sugar and salt (the sugar helps it break down). Stir in boiling water, then vinegar; let stand 10 minutes.

  2. 02

    Season chops and bring to room temperature.

  3. 03

    Sear in a very hot oiled skillet 2–3 minutes per side, holding the fat edge on the pan to render it.

  4. 04

    Rest 3 minutes and serve with the mint sauce.

Notes & swaps
