Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for ease.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and honey, whisking until smooth.
Add minced garlic, rosemary leaves, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Place your lamb chops or preferred meat in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for more intense flavor. Turn the meat occasionally to ensure even marination.
Remove the meat from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Discard any excess marinade before cooking, and prepare your lamb chops or meat as desired—grilling, pan-searing, roasting, or broiling all work well.
