4 servings
For the marinade
- 8 bone-in lamb loin chops (about 1 inch thick, 3–4 oz each)
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For searing
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for searing
For serving
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
- fresh oregano sprigs, for serving (optional)

Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and place them in a single layer in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, turning to coat all sides. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
