Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus overnight marinating)
Cook Time: 8–10 minutes
Total Time: ~25 minutes (plus marinating)

Ingredients:

Lamb:

Marinade:

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tbsp minced fresh mint, rosemary, or thyme (or a mix)

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tsp dried oregano

  • 2 tsp lemon zest

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or crushed

  • 2 stalks green onion, chopped


Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Lamb (the night before):
    In a large bowl or zip-top bag, mix all the marinade ingredients until well combined. Add the lamb chops, ensuring they’re fully coated. Seal and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors soak in.

  2. Preheat the Grill:
    The next day, remove the lamb from the fridge and let it sit at room temp for about 20–30 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high (about 400–450°F).

  3. Season with Runnin’ Wild Greek Seasoning:
    Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and pat off any excess. Generously season both sides of the chops with Runnin’ Wild Greek Seasoning.

  4. Grill the Lollipops:
    Place the chops on the hot grill and cook for about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp of 130–135°F), or longer if you prefer them more done. Turn once, getting a nice char on both sides.

  5. Rest and Serve:
    Let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.


Serving Ideas:

Serve with a Greek salad, roasted potatoes, or tzatziki for a full Mediterranean spread.
