Broiled Lamb Chops with Walnut and Mint Gremolata

• 4 shoulder lamb chops (about 12 ounces each)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup raw walnuts
• Leaves from 1 bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

1. Preheat the broiler to high and adjust the oven rack so that it is about 6 inches from the broiler element.
2. Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper and evenly rub the olive oil over the meat.
3. Place the lamb chops on a broiler pan and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium.
4. While the lamb is cooking, make the gremolata: Use a food processor to chop the walnuts to the consistency of very coarse sand.
5. Transfer the ground walnuts to a large mixing bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients.
6. Top each lamb chop with a good sprinkling of the gremolata and serve.
