- Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot; lightly brush with oil.

Steps:
- In a food processor fitted with a metal blade add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, cayenne, and salt. Pulse until combined. Pour in olive oil and pulse into a paste. Rub the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and allow the chops to come to room temperature; it will take about 20 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan over high heat until almost smoking, add the chops and sear for about 2 minutes. Flip the chops over and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes for medium.
TURKISH LAMB CHOPS WITH SUMAC, TAHINI, AND DILL
Steps:
- Prepare the lamb:
- Combine the Turkish red pepper, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds in a small bowl. Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat, add the spice mixture, and toast until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a mortar or spice grinder, add the salt and black pepper, and either pound or briefly grind until you get a coarse-textured spice mix. Don't overdo it if you've gone electric here-the coarse texture is an essential part of the dish.
- Pat the spice mixture all over the lamb chops, and let them marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or uncovered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Make the tahini sauce:
- While the lamb is marinating, in a food processor, blend the lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. Then add the tahini and ground cumin, and blend until a thick paste forms. With the processor running, gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth enough to drizzle.
- Heat a grill or broiler to high.
- Drizzle the chops lightly with olive oil. Grill the chops until they are charred on the outside and cooked to taste within (or broil the chops on a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet). Cooking time will depend on how thick your chops are, so watch them carefully: 2-inch-thick bone-in chops will take at least 3 to 5 minutes per side for rare. You'll need less time for thinner chops, and more time if you like them cooked medium rare or beyond. Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- To serve, drizzle the tahini sauce over the chops, and garnish them with the dill sprigs. Add a dusting of the red sumac if you like.
NOSTIMINI LAMB CHOPS
Nostimini is a Greek herb mix introduced to me by Kookaburra and this recipe is inspired by an idea she gave me on how to use it. She suggested overnight marination but that was just too long for me to take so I've posted as I cooked it and it was wonderful, but overnight marination would be worth a try if you plan in advance. Note the preparation time does not include marination time.

Steps:
- Add lamb chops to a resealable plastic bag. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together parsley, oregano, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, honey, and chile flakes. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl. Pour the remaining marinade over the lamb. Seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade into the lamb chops. Refrigerate at least one hour or overnight. Add the olives to the remaining unused marinade; stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Remove the lamb and olive mixture from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Meanwhile, pre-heat the grill to medium-high heat, 400° to 450°. Oil the grill grates well. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and scrape off any excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the lamb chops uncovered until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes for rib chops, or 4 to 5 minutes for loin chops. Turn the chops, and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meat registers 135°, 3 to 4 minutes for rib chops, or 4 to 5 minutes for loin chops. Cover cooked lamb chops with foil, and let rest 5 minutes.
- Stir the olive mixture to recombine the ingredients; spoon over the lamb just before serving.
OVEN-ROASTED LAMB CHOPS
Never having lamb before I didn't "think" I liked lamb. When your MIL is 100% Greek you know you will have to fix it for her son! I asked her to show me one night and wrote it down. These oven lamb chops are so easy and tender, perfect for when you don't have a crowd to feed!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Cut away excess fat from the lamb chops (some fat does add flavor). Coat each chop lightly in olive oil. Dust lamb chops with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a cast iron skillet.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.
- Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side,

NOSTIMINI GRILLED CHICKEN
Nice quick recipe using the Greek herb blend nostimini. Avocado oil has a great taste and high flash point making it ideal for use on a high temperature grill but you could use olive oil instead. No real need to measure the ingredients of course just use enough oil to coat and be fairly generous with the nostimini. Nice served with a few slices of pineapple and a salad.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are bright red in color and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid chops that are dull or have a lot of dark spots.
- Season the lamb chops generously: This will help to enhance their flavor. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano.
- Cook the lamb chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside and keep the inside juicy. You can cook the lamb chops in a skillet, on a grill, or even in the oven.
- Don't overcook the lamb chops: Lamb chops are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium. If you overcook them, they will become tough and dry.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will help to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. This will give you a more tender and flavorful lamb chop.
Conclusion:
Lamb chops are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following the tips in this article, you can ensure that your lamb chops turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give lamb chops a try. You won't be disappointed!
