Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2/3 ounce) package good seasons Italian salad dressing mix
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 peppercorns or 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 lamb chops

Steps:

  • Combine first six ingredients (salad dressing mix- oregano) in small bowl and stir well.
  • Arrange chops in marinating dish and pour marinade over chops.
  • Refrigerate at at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat broiler or prepare grill.
  • Broil or grill chops 4 inches from heat source until meat is cooked to desired doneness, turning and basting with marinade (about 10-15 minutes each side depending on thickness of lamb chops and degree of doneness desired).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are excessively fatty or have a dull color.
  • Marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is always a good choice.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Cook the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
  • Serve the lamb chops with a variety of sides: Some popular options include honeyed onions, roasted vegetables, and grilled fruit. You can also serve the chops with a simple green salad or a side of rice or pasta.

Conclusion:

Marinated lamb chops with honeyed onions are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The lamb chops are tender and juicy, and the honeyed onions add a sweet and savory flavor that complements the lamb perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
