Ingredients

• 8 pieces (approx 1.5-2 kg) Lamb chops
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 30 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 100 g Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup Fresh mint, chopped
• 1 Zest of half a lemon
• 1 Drizzle of olive oil (for crumble)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, fresh chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Marinate the lamb: Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably 4-6 hours.

3. 3

   Prepare the Feta-Mint Crumble: In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh mint, and lemon zest. Drizzle with a little olive oil and mix gently. Set aside.

4. 4

   Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 200-230°C / 400-450°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.

5. 5

   Grill the lamb chops: Remove lamb chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place on the hot grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.

6. 6

   Rest and serve: Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a platter and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.

7. 7

   Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the Feta-Mint Crumble generously over the rested lamb chops before serving. Serve immediately with a side of your choice (e.g., grilled vegetables, lemon wedges).
