Step 1
Pat lamb chops dry. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and sumac.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chops 2 minutes per side without moving them. Edges should be charred and crusted.
Step 4
Push chops to the skillet's edge. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and minced garlic to the center.

Toast garlic 45 seconds until fragrant. Squeeze lemon juice over chops and toss everything together.
Step 6
Plate chops. Top with fresh mint and a pinch of sumac. Serve immediately with pan juices.
