  • 1 tbsp Fresh Chives Chopped

Instructions

Marinated Lamb Chops

  • Make the marinade by placing the marinade ingredients in a square container to ensure all lamb chops to coat evenly. Mix well and add lamb chops and cover. Marinate for a minimum of four hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Remove marinated lamb chops from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature 30 minutes prior to grilling (note: if cooking directly on a grill and not a griddle, remove lamb from marinade container to allow excess marinade to drain off, otherwise they will burn on the grill). Preferred method is on a griddle top on the grill.
  • Grill the lamb chops approximately 14 minutes total (Cook fat side first for approximately 2 minutes, then flip on side for approximately 6 minutes and flip on other side for approximately another 6 minutes). Note: chops were cooked to medium with an internal temperature of 145F.
  • Allow to rest for 6 minutes. While resting prepare the warm butter topping. Place butter in small sauce pan on low heat and when melted, add oregano and chives.
  • Serve and enjoy! Optional: Drizzle the lamb with the herb butter or serve on the side for dipping!

Sides

  • If grilling potatoes: scrub potatoes, rub with olive oil and coat with coarse sea salt in a tin foil packet. Time appropriately with the lamb. The potatoes will grill for one hour.
  • Peal and Place whole carrots in a cast iron pan with enough water to cover the carrots. Add 1 tsp sugar. Grill until soft. Remove from cast iron pan when tender. Place on grill to get grill marks. Optional: Drizzle herb butter over carrots when serving.
