Greek Lamb Chops

Ingredients
New Zealand lamb chops
shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons mint, chopped
3 tablespoons oregano, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
salt & pepper


To marinate chops...
Mix minced shallots, chopped mint, chopped oregano, minced garlic, and sugar in a small bowl. Then cover each lamb chop with the shallot herb mixture. Place chops on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.


To cook chops...
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon peel in a small bowl until slightly thickened and well blended. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon oil mixture lightly over chops to cover both sides. Let stand for about an hour to absorb flavors. 
Heat BBQ to medium high heat. Grill lamb chops to desired doneness, about 4 minutes each side. Serve with lemon roasted potatoes.
