Ingredients

  • 4 lamb chops (about 200-250g each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • lemon wedges and fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. This mixture will be your marinade.
  • Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably, overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • When you're ready to cook, remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 200-220°C).
  • Season the lamb chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  • Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness. Lamb is best when it's still slightly pink in the center.
  • While grilling, you can baste the lamb chops with any leftover marinade to enhance the flavor.
  • Once the lamb chops are done to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
    Serve your Greek lamb chops with traditional Greek sides like Tzatziki, Greek salad, and pita bread for a complete Mediterranean meal. Enjoy!
