Mediterranean Grilled Lamb Chops with Tzatziki Sauce

Quick Facts

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Servings: 4

Cook Type: Grill

Ingredients:

8 lamb chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup Greek yoghurt
1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.


Step 2: Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chops are well coated. Cover the dish and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.


Step 3: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.


Step 4: Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.


Step 5: Place the chops on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the chops and your desired level of doneness.


Step 6: While grilling, prepare the Tzatziki Sauce by combining the Greek yoghurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.


Step 7: Once cooked to your preference, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.


Step 8: Serve the Mediterranean Grilled Lamb Chops with a dollop of Tzatziki Sauce on top, and pair them with your favourite Mediterranean-inspired sides, such as roasted vegetables, couscous, or a Greek salad.
