Yields4 Servings

0.50 cup Olive oil

2 tbsp Fresh oregano, finely chopped

2 tbsp Fresh dill, finely chopped

2 tbsp Fresh mint, finely chopped

3 Garlic, minced

1 Lemon, zested & juiced

Red pepper flakes

Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

4 Thick (3/4in) American lamb shoulder chops

In a mixing bowl combine the olive oil, oregano, dill, mint, garlic, lemon zest + juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Take the marinade and pour into a large Ziploc bag. Add the lamb shoulder chops to the bag, seal, and then gently massage the marinade into the lamb. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Heat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill heats bring your lamb shoulder chops to room temperature. Next, place the chops on the grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once the chops have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, you will need to let them rest for a minimum of 3 minutes to finish cooking. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
