Greek lamb chops

Ingredients:

• 8 New Zealand lamb chops
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 lemon juice
• Zest of 1 lemon, minced (optional)
• 2 TSP dried oregano
• 2 TBSP fresh chopped parsley
• 8-10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 TBSP salt (or to your taste)
• 1 TSP freshly ground black pepper

Method:

• Mix all marinade ingredients together in a bowl.
• Place lamb chops into a zip top bag and pour in the marinade.
  Note: Option to reserve 1/4 cup of marinade to pour over the cooked chops which adds a fresh flavour!
• Remove all air from the bag, close the top and leave in fridge to marinade for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
  Note: Flip bag over every now and then to ensure marinate coats every chop.
• Around 30 minutes before cooking, remove chops from fridge so they come to room temperature.
• Grill the lamb chops on a medium to high grill for 3-4 minutes per side or to your liking.
• Transfer to a platter and let them rest (if you can) for a few minutes before serving with sides of your choice.
•  Enjoy!
