Something we often make to cook outside on the barbeque. I love to use the frenched loin chops, expensive little mouthfuls, but soooo good.

Steps:
- Place the chops in a non-reactive container, add the remaining ingredients and mix and massage them into the chops with your hands.
- Set aside for about 1 hour to marinate.
- Heat your grill or broiler, and cook the chops to your liking-we find about 3 minutes on a hot grill is enough for the little frenched ones.

Steps:
- Mix together the oregano, garlic, lemon zest from 1 lemon, lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the lamb chops with kosher salt and pepper and add to the marinade, thoroughly coating. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and up to 6 hours.
- Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
- In the meantime, mix the flaky sea salt, rosemary and remaining lemon zest. Work the mixture with your fingers, releasing the oils from the zest and rosemary. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place on the direct heat side of the grill. Char on both sides and cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 minutes. If the lamb chops become too charred, but the internal temperature is still low, move them to the indirect heat side of the grill to finish cooking.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon rosemary salt before serving.

Steps:
- Combine lemon juice, oil, oregano, and water in a large nonreactive baking dish. Rub lamb all over with salt and pepper, and place in marinade, turning to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 24 hours, turning once or twice.

Steps:
- To make marinade combine oil, garlic, 2 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice and oregano into a ceramic dish.
- Add lamb to marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight, if time permits, turning occasionally.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality lamb loin chops. Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a bright red color.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the lamb chops in a skillet over medium-high heat. Just be sure to sear them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
- The lemon and oregano marinade not only adds flavor to the lamb chops, but it also helps to tenderize them. Be sure to marinate the chops for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- If you like, you can also add other herbs and spices to the marinade, such as rosemary, thyme, or garlic. Just be careful not to overpower the flavor of the lamb.
- Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Lemon and oregano lamb loin chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The lamb chops are tender and juicy, and the lemon and oregano marinade gives them a bright and flavorful taste. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
