🍽️ ** How to Make It :
1️⃣ Marinate the Lamb:
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Rub generously over the lamb chops and let marinate at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours). This builds the best herb grilled lamb chops, Mediterranean dinner vibes, and serious flavor-packed meal energy.
2️⃣ Roast the Potato Wedges:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. These are your crispy potato side, easy family dinner addition, and total comfort food favorite.
3️⃣ Grill the Lamb to Perfection:
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Cook lamb chops 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust to preference). Let rest 5 minutes before serving. This gives you that juicy grilled lamb, restaurant-quality dinner, and true gourmet dinner at home feel.
4️⃣ Toss the Fresh Salad:
In a large bowl, combine lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then season lightly. This step adds a fresh crunchy salad, balanced dinner plate, and refreshing healthy side dish touch.
5️⃣ Plate & Serve:
Arrange golden potato wedges on one side, lamb chops in the center, and fresh salad alongside. Spoon any resting juices over the lamb for extra flavor. Boom—your high protein dinner, crowd-pleasing recipe, and ultimate Mediterranean-inspired feast is ready.
