Ingredients
Marinade
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 3/4 tsp dried oregano
For the lamb chops
- 8 small lamb loin or rib chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- juice of one lemon
- 1 bunch of fresh oregano or rosemary
Instructions
- Make the marinade: to a medium bowl add the olive oil, salt, pepper and dried oregano. Add the lamb chops, toss to coat and let sit on the counter for up to 45 minutes.
- Before cooking, add 1/4 cup olive oil and juice of one lemon to a small bowl and whisk together. Set aside a small bunch of oregano or rosemary to use as a 'brush' with the olive oil and lemon juice.
- Cook the lamb chops: After the lamb has sat in the marinade for 30-45 minutes, set a cast iron pan to medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the lamb chops (you might like to cook 4 at a time to avoid crowding the pan).
- Cook for 3 minutes, flip, cook 2 minutes and baste with the fresh oregano / fresh rosemary dipped in olive oil/lemon juice mixture.
- Flip once more and cook 2 more minutes or until desired doneness. Remove the lamb chops to a plate and cook the next batch.
- Once all of the lamb chops are cooked, serve topped with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, juices from the pan (if desired) and fresh oregano.
