Lamb Chops with Lemon Mint Sauce

This dish is as healthy as it is tasty! Lamb is an excellent source of high quality protein and is a source of iron, B vitamins and trace elements such as copper, manganese and selenium. By topping the lamb chops with the lemon mint sauce, it not only freshens the dish, but also provides high amounts of vitamin K, C, and A.
