Lamb Chops with Lemon

These lemon and herb lamb chops offer a bright and punchy flavour profile that elevates a simple cut of meat into something truly special. The combination of fresh mint, earthy oregano and sharp citrus creates a vibrant crust that complements the richness of the lamb. Because the meat is marinated overnight, the aromatics have plenty of time to tenderise the chops, ensuring every bite is succulent and deeply seasoned.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally high in protein and healthy fats while remaining low in carbohydrates. It is a fantastic option for a summer barbecue or a light evening meal when served alongside a crisp green salad or roasted Mediterranean vegetables. The addition of fresh lemon zest provides a refreshing finish that makes this recipe a seasonal favourite for healthy, home-cooked dining.

How to make Lamb Chops with Lemon

Mix minced shallots, chopped mint, chopped oregano, minced garlic, sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt in small bowl. Press 1 rounded teaspoon shallot-herb mixture onto eye of each lamb chop. Turn chops over onto large rimmed baking sheet. Press remaining shallot- herb mixture onto eye of each chop. Cover lamb chops with sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon peel in small bowl until slightly thickened and well blended. Season lightly with salt and generously with freshly ground black pepper. Spoon oil mixture lightly over chops. Turn chops over and spoon remaining oil mixture over. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill lamb chops to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer lamb chops to platter. Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs and serve.
