Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly on both sides of the lamb chops. Cover and let them rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
To make the yogurt sauce, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey in a medium-sized bowl. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the lamb chops in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness. Remove the chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the lamb chops warm with the chilled yogurt rosemary and dill sauce drizzled over them or served on the side.
