Method
- Combine lamb chops, 2 tbs olive oil, dried herbs, spices, garlic, rind and juice in a bowl, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper and mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for a few hours.
- For minty feta dip, process ingredients in a small food processor until smooth, season to taste with salt and pepper and refrigerate until required.
- Drain lamb chops from marinade. Preheat a char-grill pan over medium-high heat and cook lamb chops, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking (4-5 minutes for medium). Transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve scattered with fresh mint and with lemon wedges to squeeze over, together with minty feta dip.
