Grilled lamb chops

Grilled lamb chops
Let them marinate for at least 4 hours and grill them preferably on a charcoal grill!

If you do not like oregano, you can replace it with rosemary, fresh herbs work great instead of dried ones. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Served with french fries, a Greek salad and a cold beer, this chef is happy.

Tips and variations

  • Use fresh lamb chops and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling for more even heat distribution.
  • Pat the meat dry with kitchen paper and brush with oil before grilling for the best crust and caramelisation.
  • Rest the lamb chops for 5 minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute evenly and the meat stays juicier.

🍷 Wine tips

Cabernet Sauvignon — Grilled lamb chops are classic red-meat territory that calls for a full-bodied red. Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux or California provides the perfect match with tannins and dark fruit. Syrah from the Rhône or Malbec from Argentina are equally excellent.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg lammkotletter

Method
 

  1. Blanda alla ingredienser i en stor skål och låt kotletterna marinera i minst 4 timmar.
  2. Tänd grillen – kolgrill är att föredra, men gasgrill fungerar också utmärkt.
  3. Torka av oljan från kotletterna innan du lägger dem på grillen för att undvika uppflammande lågor.
