  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Tzatziki Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lamb Chops:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Brush the lamb chops with this mixture.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Transfer the lamb chops to a baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and parsley. Spread this mixture over the lamb chops.
  5. Roast the lamb chops in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

2. Make the Tzatziki Sauce:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

3. Serving:

  • Place the roasted lamb chops on a serving platter.
  • Spoon the Tzatziki sauce over the lamb chops.
  • Garnish with additional fresh parsley.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a more intense flavor, marinate the lamb chops in the garlic-herb mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). For medium lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). For well-done lamb chops, cook to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  • Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad.
