This marinade makes them so tender they rip away from the bone. The mint and garlic are a perfect spice to make them have a wonderful flavor.
6 to 8 fresh mint leaves
4 fresh basil leaves
2 sprigs of fresh oregano ( if you have it or use dried below)
1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, parsley, salt
1 cup of dry white wine
1/4 cup olive oil
Directions:
Mix wine and herbs in a large 13x9 baking dish, place chops in there and marinate for at least 4 hours.
Preheat grill, place chops on heated grill and top with garlic cloves and mint leaves. Baste with marinade two or three times. Turn once and baste again.

Dad use to have a huge garden, I have herbs everywhere, tomatoes and peppers this year. The mint is in the middle, right oregano to the side and basil to the left.. Parsley is in another pot with dill. For me, there nothing like fresh herbs. I harvest them for all year round, click here for tips. |

you know what that is a perfect shot...it seems just looking at the picture I smell the aroma over here =)
ReplyDeleteThe marinade that you used sounds wonderful! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've never used mint to marinate meat. It'sa really good suggestion, fresh and tasty. Bye, have a great day
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing and yes I have had many cold meals trying to get that elusive shot, it's what we do though , right?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing..
Mint grows in my yard naturally. Everytime I mow I end up cutting some, but I never cook with it. I am not sure why. The weird thing is it does not seem to grow anywhere else in my neighborhood, just my yard. Maybe I should take that as a sign that I need to start cooking with it, your recipe would be a good place to start.
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! This looks like a marvelous lamb marinade...hubby would go for this :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful dish. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteLove fresh herbs too. The grilled lamb chops look mouthwatering.
ReplyDeleteI never ate lamb growing up even though our neighbors were greek! It wasn't until recent years that I have began eating it from time to time. This looks fantastic! I have never had it grilled before.

ReplyDeleteYum! Looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have a love-hate relationship with lamb. It seems I'm hit or miss when I cook it, so I usually opt to just have it out! This sounds incredibly tasty Claudia =)
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss lamb! Your garden sounds amazing with those lovely herbs and tomatoes and everything. I am going to go and check your tips for keeping fresh herbs all year round. Love your blogs! So informative too. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your those chops. But living in an apartment I am very jealous of your herb garden.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely mouth watering! The mint and lamb comnination is perfect and I'm very intrigued by the addition of white wine.
