Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large shallots, minced
6 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
6 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
24 lamb rib chops (from three 1 1/4-to 1 1/2-pound racks of lamb, cut between bones into individual chops)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel
Fresh oregano sprigs (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix minced shallots, chopped mint, chopped oregano, minced garlic, sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt in small bowl. Press 1 rounded teaspoon shallot-herb mixture onto eye of each lamb chop. Turn chops over onto large rimmed baking sheet. Press remaining shallot- herb mixture onto eye of each chop. Cover lamb chops with sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon peel in small bowl until slightly thickened and well blended. Season lightly with salt and generously with freshly ground black pepper. Spoon oil mixture lightly over chops. Turn chops over and spoon remaining oil mixture over. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill lamb chops to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb chops to platter. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb cutlets or chops: Look for cuts that are bright red in color and have a fine grain. Avoid cuts that are dark or have a lot of fat.
  • Marinate the lamb for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Cook the lamb over medium heat: This will help to prevent the meat from drying out. Cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the lamb rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the lamb with your favorite sides: Some popular sides include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Marinated lemon lamb cutlets or chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The marinade tenderizes the meat and infuses it with flavor, while the cooking process creates a juicy and flavorful dish. Serve the lamb with your favorite sides and enjoy!
