This springtime dish is filled with fresh flavor thanks to ample amounts of lemon and mint. If you can find fresh English peas, we recommend them for their sweetness and crisp texture, but frozen peas will also work. Be sure to pat the lamb loin chops dry thoroughly to ensure the best sear possible.
