Looking to pair up something that goes good with lamb chops. Any favorites your care to share

I typically hit it with some of my dry rub and let the meat speak for itself. I’ve always thought if it needs sauce it wasn’t cooked right or it’s low quality meat. I do like sauce on a McDonald’s McRib.

A guy from school makes chimichuri locally. May have to give it a go.

The best olive oil you have a whole bulb of garlic diced, rosemary, oregano, juice of one lemon, a healthy dose of kosher salt and cracked pepper. Marinade it in the mixture a few hours before you cook it then heavily baste while cooking from start to finish. Then serve it with some homemade Tzatziki sauce!
This recipe is pretty much how I leaned to make it from my buddies Greek Papa, except he taught me to use a whole bulb of garlic. The only thing this recipe leaves out is how to drain the yogurt, so it turns out nice and thick and creamy. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much juice as you can then mix the garlic and grated cucumber into the Greek yogurt. Then get 3-4 layers of cheesecloth about 15x15'' put the yogurt mix in one big blob in the center of the cheesecloth and twist it up tightly and hang it over a bowl.

Keep twisting and tightening every hour or so for at least 4 hours but letting it drain overnight is best. Then add the remaining ingredients the next morning, I know this sounds like a lot of work but the end results are mind blowing in both taste and texture.

Besides it being amazing served on the side with lamb it makes an awesome dip for veggies and cold cuts and pita bread or pita chips.

I was thinking of trying mint jelly but my wife really likes tzatziki. There is a place in baker California that is a Greek place. We usually stop at on the way to Vegas. They even give a discount for those with a commercial driver license which makes it even better.
 
Looks like you already got some great suggestions for a topping. Know its not much help but rosemary also pairs well as a seasoning. Little EVOO, garlic, black pepper, and rosemary then grilled up. Sounds like you have a great meal in your future.
