1 kg lamb loin chop, frenched are great
2 lemons, juice of
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
8 frenched lamb loin chops (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup flaky sea salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

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.

12 lamb chops (mid-loin trimmed)
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lemon, juice of
1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 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.
