Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Place the lamb chops in a large shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh oregano, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed (145°F for medium-rare).
Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a serving platter and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Greek Lamb Chops with a side of tzatziki, Greek salad, or roasted potatoes!
