Ingredients
6 lamb chops, rib chops
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil to fry
Salt and pepper to season
Marinade:
½ tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
lemon wedges to serve
1 tbsp dried oregano, Greek oregano preferably
TO MAKE HERB-MARINATED LAMB CHOPS
Step 1: Liberally season the lamb chops with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
Step 2: To make the marinade, place the thyme, oregano, rosemary, mint, garlic, and olive oil in a small bowl. Mix well until combined.
Step 3: Massage the marinade on the whole lamb. Marinate the lamb for up to 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4: Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, adjust the heat to medium-high heat. Add the chops and sear for approximately 3 minutes until well browned, and the internal temperature of the chops is about 135 degrees F or 57 degrees C for medium-rare. Flip the chops and cook the other side for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 5: Transfer the cooked chops to a warm plate when done and let them rest for at least 5 minutes.
Step 6: Serve the lamb chops garnished with lemon wedges. Enjoy the lambs with your favourite side dishes.
