Lamb Chops with Spiced Yogurt Marinade
Lamb Chops have become one of our spring must have proteins. We have tried so many different ways of making lamb and have loved them all!!! So, trying a yogurt marinated lamb was a fun experience.
The lamb was so tender after marinating for 3 hours we didn't even need a knife to cut the finished product. In fact, I was asked to leave the kitchen because I ate one of the lamb chops while Amy was trying to take pictures for the blog. I mean, she did ask me to pick one up for a picture and, of course, my natural instinct was to take a bite. So, in my world you don't even need a knife or fork!
Key steps for making the lamb chops
This is one of those dishes that everyone is going to think you spent hours making. Plus, we found the lamb chops can be cooked rare, medium rare, or well done and they come out tender and full of flavor, so everyone will be happy!
The spices and lemon juice mix right in the yogurt to make a quick marinade. We added habanero, which gave a nice spicy zip to the lamb chop recipe, but peppers are totally optional. If you don't want it spicy, just leave out the habanero or add more if you want it super spicy. We think the addition of the habanero gives a nice sweet and spicy flavor to every bite and it works well with the other seasoning, but doesn't necessarily make the entire dish.
How do I cut a rack of lamb?
Don't be intimated by a rack of lamb. I used to think there is no way I can cut a rack of lamb to make lamb chops.
