Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain yogurt

  • 1 large lemon, zested and juiced

  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary

  • 1 tablespoon chile paste

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 8 lamb loin chops

Directions

  1. Whisk yogurt, lemon zest and juice, garlic, rosemary, chile paste, oregano, salt, pepper, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Add lamb chops to the bag; coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or for best flavor, up to 10 hours.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Remove lamb chops from marinade and scrape off excess. Discard used marinade. Season chops with salt and pepper.

  4. Cook chops on the preheated grill until browned on the outside and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
