Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the marinade.
- Step 2: Place 8 lamb rib chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours.
