Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Lamb chops
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for best flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Cook the lamb chops on the preheated grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
