Submitted by: Debbie...aka...JerseyGirl

8 Lamb chops
1/4 cup butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. mint sauce (recipe to follow)
1/4 cup fresh mint, coarsely chopped
1 cup white wine
Marinate chops in olive oil and garlic for 3-4 hours. Melt butter in a large skillet and add chops. Brown on both sides. Add onion, wine, mint sauce and mint. Cook for 25-30 minute. You may use store bought mint sauce or you can make your own. To make your own, simply take 3 Tbsp. fresh mint chopped, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1 Tbsp. dry sherry (optional). Whisk together and adjust sugar or vinegar as needed to suit your taste. Serve lamb with extra mint sauce or mint jelly if you prefer something sweeter.
