Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Optional garnish: fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh oregano, fresh rosemary, salt, black pepper, red wine vinegar, and honey to create the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 3

Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a deeper flavor.

Step 4

When ready to cook, remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the leftover marinade.

Step 7

Grill the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time depending on your preferred level of doneness.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked lamb chops to a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes such as a Greek salad, roasted vegetables, or tzatziki sauce.
