Grilled lamb chops are undoubtedly the quickest dinner. Marinated and served with a classic mint sauce, they can be ready in less than 20 minutes. This is ideal for an elegant or festive dinner when you have guests. The lamb can also be marinated overnight, leaving you enough time to take care of other things.
