Grilled Lamb Loin Chops with Mint and Lemon

Ingredients

• 4 lamb loin chops (about 120 g each)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Juice and zest of 1 lemon
• Fresh mint leaves
• Salt and black pepper

Method

1. 1Combine oil, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Rub all over the chops. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
2. 2Heat a ridged grill pan or barbecue to high heat. Pat chops dry before cooking.
3. 3Grill 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Lamb loin chops are small and thin — they cook quickly, so watch closely.
4. 4Rest 3 minutes. The chops should still be rosy pink at the bone.
5. 5Squeeze lemon juice over and scatter with fresh mint leaves before serving. Serve with a simple salad or flatbread.
