I will give this recipie the highest compliment than any submarine sailor can give (and all submarine sailors will recognize - "I would put in a wake up this this!"

I followed the recipie with one small exception - I added some sliced Kalamata olives to the salad.

I placed the chops on top of the salad as Anne suggests and I loved it, but my wife said she would rather of had the salad seperate. Her reason was that the strong flavor of the feta in the salad tends to overpower the more delicate lamb flavor. Though I lived the combination of flavors and texture in one bite, I see her point. Next time I will keep the salad and the meat seperate and likely go with a more robust greek salad on the side.

Even with the argument of stacking the meat on the salad or not, the recipie still deserves 5 stars.

This recipe is great. We did them on the barbecue. And the yogurt sauce was a wonderful side dish! Using the marinate to do steaks tonight.

Loved, loved, loved it! Used lamb loin chops. Excellent marinade. Husband usually doesn't like tzatziki, due to his dislike for cucumbers, but he raved over this one. (Think it had something to do about grating the cucumber. Forgot to do the arugula salad. Made a traditional tabouli instead (also found on Food Network site. Thank you, again, Anne, for a delicious meal!

This was DELICIOUS. Let it marinate all day and grilled out in the evening. Tzatziki sauce went perfectly with the lamb, and the feta gave the salad a tangy fresh taste.

This is almost ingredient for ingredient a recipe I do making a flatbread sandwich like a gyro with lamb tenderloin, salad, and tzatziki. Marinate the same, except use a lamb tenderloin. Grill medium rare to medium and slice super thin. Fill a folded flatbread with salad, meat, and drizzle with tzatziki. Make the tzatziki the same, but put it all in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Dress the salad and the lamb with the tzatziki and enjoy.

Finishing oil is usually just a better quality olive oil. Not just expensive oil......fresh olive oil!

Absolutely delish!!! Made this yesterday & it was very successful.. I used lamb chops instead of shoulder which is on the pricey end but very flavorful.. I marinated overnight with the listed ingredients and added fresh rosemary as well which I find a must with any lamb dish..
You can't go wrong with this recipe.. Highly recommended!

What is "big fat finishing oil"? Is it olive oil?

This was my first Lamb dish and Tzatziki I've ever made, and Anne made it effortless! I will not use shoulder chops again, however, because they were much too fatty, but this would work well with other cuts or pork. The Tzatziki was the best I've ever tasted. The marriage of flavors worked well on the plate (don't leave out the Feta on the arugula salad.
