Method

step 1

Boil the potatoes in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water until tender to the point of a knife. Meanwhile, put the onion, mint, capers, oil, vinegar and sugar into a large bowl with some seasoning. When the potatoes are cooked, tip them into the bowl and toss.
step 2

Heat the grill to high. Brush each of the lamb chops with mustard, season well and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelised but still blushing pink in the middle. Serve the chops with the potatoes and a rocket salad, if you like.
