‘Ladolemono’ is the Greek word for a simple oil and lemon sauce. Drizzle the lamb chops with this mixture and see why some of the best-tasting meals are the most minimal and unpretentious. Enjoy this dinner with a bottle of Ribera del Duero or Chianti Riserva.

Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon dried Greek oregano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing lamb
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 lamb rib chops, about 3 pounds
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped mint

Directions

Prepare a grill on high heat.
Place the lemon juice, mustard, oregano, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper into a bowl and whisk vigorously until blended.
Brush the lamb chops on both sides with olive oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chops on the grill and cook for 3 minutes per side.
Drizzle the grilled lamb with the prepared sauce and then garnish with the chopped parsley and mint; serve immediately.
