Ingredients:
For the marinated lamb chops:
– 4 lamb chops
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– Juice of 1 lemon
– 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
For the garlic yogurt sauce:
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
– Juice of 1/2 lemon
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Lamb Chops:
1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
2. Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
1. In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
2. Cover the sauce and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Cook the Lamb Chops:
1. Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
3. Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches about 135°F (57°C).
4. Serve the Dish:
1. Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a serving platter and let them rest for a few minutes.
2. Serve the lamb chops with a generous dollop of the garlic yogurt sauce on top or on the side.
3. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill and a lemon wedge, if desired.
