Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 lemon Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Couscous
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Cucumber, diced
• 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Dill, chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, minced for yogurt sauce
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil for yogurt sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt for yogurt sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, prepare the marinade for the lamb chops by combining olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the lamb chops to the bowl and coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge.

Step 3

While the lamb marinates, prepare the couscous. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium pot. Remove from heat, stir in the couscous, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, and fresh parsley. Set aside.

Step 5

Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining plain Greek yogurt, chopped dill, minced garlic, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 6

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness). Remove and let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Plate the couscous as a bed on the bottom of the serving dish. Arrange the lamb chops on top, and drizzle or serve with the yogurt sauce on the side.

Step 8

Garnish with additional parsley or dill, if desired, and serve immediately.
