Preparation

Step 1

Using paper towels, pair dry chops and discard any shards or bone fragments.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Arrange cops in a large baking dish and pour the marinade over the lamb, running it into the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for half an hour, or for deeper flavor, marinate overnight in the refrigerator, turning the chops from Tim to time (before cooking, let lamb chops sit at room temperature 30 minutes).

Heat oil in a can iron pan or grill plates over high heat until just starting to smoke. Fry or grill lamb in 2 batches for 3-4 minutes each side, depending on thickness until done to your liking. (Usually, at 3 minutes per side they are medium)

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Sprinkle with a little extra eerie oregano for added flavor an a little extra lemon juice.
