Steps:
- Place the garlic, rosemary, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the herbs are finely minced. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine and combine. Place the chops in a glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the chops, turning to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
- When ready to cook, prepare a grill with one layer of hot coals or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot with the cold Yogurt Mint Sauce.
- Place the scallions, mint, dill, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until it's a coarse paste. Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are overly fatty or have a yellow or grayish tint.
- Marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use the marinade recipe provided in the article, or you can create your own.
- Grill the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Cook the lamb chops to your desired doneness: Lamb chops can be cooked to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops and the desired doneness.
- Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help to redistribute the juices and prevent the chops from becoming dry.
Conclusion:
Greek grilled lamb chops in wine and honey marinade are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The marinade tenderizes the lamb chops and infuses them with flavor, while the grilling process creates a nice char on the outside and keeps the inside juicy and tender. Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
