Ingredients
Scale
- 8 lamb chops, about 1 inch thick
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
- Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and coat them completely with the herb marinade, massaging it into the meat.
- In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, dill, lemon zest, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Add the lamb chops and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness.
- Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
- Serve the lamb chops warm with generous spoonfuls of dill yogurt sauce.
Notes
- For deeper flavor, marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes.
- Allow the lamb to reach room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
- Leftover dill yogurt sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
