How to make Grilled Lamb Chops with Mint Chimichurri

Preheat grill.

Stir together cinnamon and 5 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper in a bowl, then rub over chops. Grill in a 4-sided sheet pan 3 to 4 inches from heat, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes total for medium-rare.

With motor running, drop garlic into food processor and finely chop. Add remaining sauce ingredients and 1/2 teaspoons salt and pulse until herbs are finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl.

Cook peas in water and butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, covered, stirring once or twice, until just tender, about 3 minutes.

Serve chops drizzled with a little chimichurri and serve peas and remaining chimichurri on the side.
