Lemon-Garlic Marinated Lamb Chops

Ingredients:

1 Tb olive oil

2 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest

2 Tbs chopped fresh oregano or 2 tsp dried

6 cloves garlic minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Eight 4 ounce lamb loin chops

Directions:

In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, oregano, garlic, salt and black pepper. 

In a sealable plastic bag, add marinade and lamb chops. Move the chops around in the bag so the marinade coats them well. 

Seal the bag and marinate for 20 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature. 

Remove the chops from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill or broil lamb chops for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rate.
