In a small bowl stir together the first 7 ingredients. Put the lamb chops in a sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Move the chops around in the bag so the marinade coats them well. Marinate for 1 hour.
Grill or broil the chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare.

Really fast, really easy and really good! A great recipe to use when you are looking for something different in a marinade, and want something that you will probably have all the ingredients on hand. The Mediterranean flavors work very nicely together, especially with lamb. I imagine it would also work well with chicken. Didn't change a thing the first time I made it and that is unusual for me. The second time I made it I used lime instead of lemon because that is what I had, added Dijon mustard to the marinade and grilled the chops -- it was still fantastic!

I don't post often but I made this recipe tonight and it ranks my list as one of the best I've ever had. The lamb was tender and not overcooked. Unfortunately, my husband and I only have three left out of seven. I followed it exactly and cooked it on my gas grill with lemon/olive oil marinated asparagus. Fantastic!!! Ellie you rock!!!

Quick meal! I put it in to marinate, took my son to hockey, and when I came home I through them on the grill pan. Dinner was ready in 10 minutes. My 9 year old loved them and I felt like I had given him a meal fit for a king. Very tasty! Marinade didn't overpower the taste of the lamb. Thanks Ellie!
