Barba Yianni's Grilled Lamb Chops

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 4 bone-in lamb chops
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup dried oregano
  • 6 small or 4 large cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Skordalia sauce.

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 Tbs lemon juice
  • 2 Tbs fresh mint optional
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients together and rub on the chops, then marinate at room temperature, covered, for up to 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight. (I did the room temp for 1 hour.)
  • Stir the skordalia sauce ingredients together. 
  • Barbecue the lamb chops for 3-5 minutes per side. (The book says you can alternatively broil them 3-5 minutes per side.) They should be about 120 to 135 F at the thickest part.
  • Let rest a few minutes, then serve with the sauce on the side.
