Greek Lamb Chops

Greek Lamb Chops

Tender, juicy lamb chops bursting with bold Greek flavor—made simple with Simply Greek Foods Lamb Rub

Ingredients

• 8 lamb chops (loin or rib, about 1-inch thick)

• 2 tbsp Simply Greek Foods Lamb Rub or to your liking

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1 tsp sea salt (optional, taste before adding since the rub is seasoned)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the marinade:
   In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Simply Greek Foods Lamb Rub. Mix into a paste.

2. Season the lamb:
   Pat lamb chops dry with a paper towel. Rub the marinade mixture evenly on both sides of the chops. Place in a shallow dish, cover, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the fridge.

3. Cook the chops:

   • Grill method (traditional): Preheat grill to medium-high. Cook lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness.

   • Pan-seared method: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then sear chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your liking.

4. Rest:
   Remove from heat, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices.

5. Serve:
   Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Pair with roasted potatoes, Greek salad, or warm pita bread.
