Top tips for the perfect Greek Lamb Chops

Get the Perfect Sear: If pan-searing, make sure your skillet is hot before adding the lamb chops. This helps create a caramelised crust while keeping the inside tender.

Marinate for Maximum Flavour: While 30 minutes is sufficient, marinating for a few hours allows the flavours to penetrate deeper into the meat, making each bite more flavourful and tender.

Don’t Skip the Resting Time: After cooking, let your lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This step is key to keeping them tender.

Directions

In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill or sear the chops for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, alongside your favourite sides.
