Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Optional garnish: fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh oregano, fresh rosemary, salt, black pepper, red wine vinegar, and honey to create the marinade.
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the leftover marinade.
Grill the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time depending on your preferred level of doneness.
Transfer the cooked lamb chops to a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes such as a Greek salad, roasted vegetables, or tzatziki sauce.
