Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds lamb loin chops silver sink removed
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup parsley
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon honey

For the gremolata topping:

  • ¼ cup olives chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts toasted and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Combine olive oil, parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, honey, and shallot in a bowl to make the marinade.
  • Marinate the lamb chops in the mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them sit for at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat your Ninja Woodfire Grill to high.
  • Sear the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side, then close the lid and let them cook through until they reach 140-F measured with a digital meat thermometer.
  • Prepare the gremolata topping by mixing together the chopped olives, pine nuts, parsley, capers, olive oil, and lemon zest. Season it with a pinch of salt.
  • Serve the grilled lamb chops with the gremolata topping generously sprinkled over them.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • You can chop the parsley, garlic, and shallot in a food processor to get everything finely chopped. Then add the olive oil and remaining marinade ingredients and pulse to combine. Voila, your marinade is done.
  • Ensure your grill is hot before adding the chops to get a good sear and lock in juices. The Ninja could take 10-12 minutes to preheat thoroughly.
  • Rest the lamb chops for a few minutes after grilling; this helps the juices redistribute and keeps your chops succulent.
  • Don’t skip the gremolata; it adds a fresh, tangy contrast to the rich lamb.
