This recipe is from my friend George who owns Ellas Meat Market on the Danforth in Toronto. True to his Greek roots, this recipe is simple, authentic, and really showcases lamb chops in the best way possible!
Once you start making lamb this way, you will never turn back. Guaranteed! :D
INGREDIENTS
12 lamb chops (approximately 1.5 inch thick)
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
½ cup and 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
½ tbsp crushed dried oregano
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
METHOD
Preheat oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season lamb chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, lower in lamb chops, ensuring not to crowd the pan. Sear for 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chops.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the fat on the edges of the lamb has crisped up.
In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oregano, and salt to taste. Once the salt has dissolved, slowly whisk in the remaining olive oil.
Transfer the baked lamb chops to a serving platter, and drizzle lemon dressing over the top. Serve with Feta Smashed Potatoes (recipe on my channel). Enjoy!
