Lamb with mint jelly is a tried-and-true combination and this recipe takes the idea to new heights.

The sweet, shocking green jelly is transformed into a richly flavored and pleasingly dark sauce.

Make It a Meal: Serve with whole-wheat couscous and peas.

Sprinkle lamb chops with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chops and cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes.

Turn them over and transfer the pan to the oven.

Transfer the chops to a plate and tent with foil.

Place the skillet over medium-high heat (take care, the handle will still be hot).

Add shallot and cook, stirring constantly, until browned and softened, about 1 minute.

Add broth, vinegar and jelly and bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the jelly.

Cook, whisking constantly, until the liquid has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in half the mint along with any accumulated juices from the chops.

Serve the chops topped with the sauce and the remaining mint.
