Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus overnight marinating)
Cook Time: 8–10 minutes
Total Time: ~25 minutes (plus marinating)
Ingredients:
Lamb:
-
2 racks of lamb, frenched and cut into chops (aka “lollipops”)
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:
-
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. -
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). -
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. -
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. -
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.
