You’ll need lamb chops, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simple ingredients for big flavor. Start by placing your lamb chops in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Next, squeeze the juice of one fresh lemon over the lamb, making sure to catch any seeds. Add three minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary. Sprinkle in a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Using clean hands or tongs, gently toss everything together until the lamb is evenly coated with the marinade. Make sure every chop is well covered for the best flavor. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let the lamb marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor. For best results, turn the chops once or twice during marination so every side absorbs the flavors. When ready to cook, remove the lamb from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling. Your lamb chops are now perfectly marinated and ready for the grill. Start by preheating your grill or pan to mediumigh heat. This ensures a good sear and helps prevent sticking. Lightly oil the grill grates using tongs and a paper towel dipped in oil. This step helps create those beautiful grill marks and keeps the lamb from sticking. Carefully place the marinated lamb chops on the hot grill. Listen for that satisfying sizzle. Grill the lamb chops for 3 to four minutes on the first side without moving them to develop deep grill marks and caramelization. Use tongs to gently flip each chop. If it sticks, give it another minute. Grill the second side for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and slightly charred. For perfect grill marks, rotate the chops 45° halfway through each side. To check doneness, press the thickest part of the chop with tongs. It should feel springy for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer for safety. 145° F or 63° C is ideal. Always use caution around hot grills and pans. Keep a safe distance and use long-handled tools. Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. This keeps the juices inside and the meat tender. Your lamb chops are now ready to serve. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Start by placing the grilled lamb chops neatly on a warm plate, arranging them in a fan or stacked for an inviting look. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top. Then squeeze fresh lemon juice for brightness. Sprinkle with dried oregano and garnish with fresh rosemary or parsley for color and aroma. Add classic Greek sides like roasted potatoes, a crisp Greek salad, or warm pita bread to complete the plate. For a beautiful finish, arrange everything attractively and serve immediately while the lamb is hot and juicy. Take a moment to enjoy the aroma. Then dig in and savor every bite of your homemade pidakia. And there you have it. Authentic Greek podakia, a taste of grease in your kitchen. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share.
