Lamb Chops with Lemon and Oregano
Perfectly grilled lamb chops marinated in the classic Greek trinity of olive oil, lemon, and oregano.
Greek lamb chops represent grilling at its finest - the char of the fire, the succulence of quality lamb, and the bright punch of lemon and oregano. This is taverna cooking at its most elemental, where the quality of ingredients and the skill of the cook make all the difference.
We use premium lamb rib chops, which we marinate in extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and generous amounts of dried oregano. The marinade penetrates the meat, infusing it with Mediterranean flavors while the acid from the lemon begins to tenderize.
Cooked over blazing hot coals, the lamb chops develop a beautiful char on the outside while staying perfectly pink and juicy within. We serve them immediately off the grill with nothing more than a wedge of lemon, letting the quality of the lamb shine through. This is Greek cooking stripped to its essence.
