Instructions

1. Place the mint and sugar in a small heatproof bowl. Add 2 tablespoons boiling water, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the vinegar and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
2. Heat a chargrill or barbecue over medium-high heat. Brush the lamb with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover the lamb with foil and set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
3. Meanwhile, boil, steam or microwave the peas until tender. Drain. Using a food processor, process the peas, lemon juice and remaining oil until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
