Spicy Lamb Chops

Spicy Lamb Chops are a vibrant and flavorful Greek BBQ dish, marinated with aromatic spices that ignite the palate. Perfectly grilled and served with a side of fresh salad, they make for a delightful meal that captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.

Ingredients

• Lamb chops - 4 pieces (about 250g total)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Once hot, place the marinated lamb chops on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
6. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot with a side salad or grilled vegetables.
