  • I make these all through the year, but made a stuffed leg of lamb for Easter. My guests however started speaking of the year I made these chops. Guess I'll go back to these as my "Easter special." So good.

  • Please check your nutritional info. 11,880 calories per serving? That's just not possible!

  • These were delicious but next time I would scrape off the shallot/herb mix before I grill them. It made a big mess on the bbq and interfered with grill marks. Also I would reserve some of the lemon/evoo/zest dressing to dribble over the finished chops. I served it with Pave potatoes, homemade tzatziki, and roasted peppers marinated with evoo, garlic and balsamic (piled up high and dusted with a bit of crumbled feta, a few chopped olives and fresh oregano). Wow looked fantastic and tasted even better. Rave reviews from my guests.

  • I have made this twice now. This time it produced a speech from my husband of nearly 40 years about how nobody else he knows ever eats this well, what an incredible cook I am, how he's the envy of everybody who has ever eaten my cooking, and how many hundreds of thousands of dollars we've saved because my cooking rivals that of the most expensive restaurants. So, it seems to have been a success. I like it too. I told him that I knew of other people who like to cook the way I do, but mostly they're on Epicurious.

  • Excellent. Left out the tarragon and used onion instead of shallots. Served with roasted veggies. Will definitely make again.

  • These lamb chops were amazing! The marinade was not overwhelming and brought out the natural flavors of the meat. Very easy!

  • Made this yesterday and did not put sugar in the marinade nor tablespoon of salt. Didn't have fresh oregano so used dried. Still was fab. We had thick loin chops and frying them in an iron skillet the middle was too raw. So Broiling them in the oven sounds like a better solution.

  • Great recipe! My kids 8 and 11 even liked it! I used lamb loin chops and broiled them for 4 minutes on each side and it was a perfect med-rare and onions instead of shallots which worked fine. 4 stars for and quick, delicious, week night dinner!

  • After reading the positive reviews I thought I'd add another of my own after trying this last night. I used thick lamb loin chops and an indoor grill plan (Le Crueset) to suit my needs. I marinaded the chops overnight per recipe but used lemon olive oil. The recipe and preparation is simple and the finished lamb was crusty on the outside and moist and tender inside. A real winner for a quick weeknight protein!

  • This is probably my favorite recipe I have ever made from epicurious. I did not change the recipe at all, though I prepared more chops than the recipe called for and adjusted the amounts a little. A special treat!

  • This recipe is perfect just the way Chef Symon wrote it. It does not call for onions or a tablespoon of salt. I have no idea what recipe the other reviewers were looking at. Just a bit of salt before grilling. Great recipe, easy to do, incredible depth of flavor. This has become a family favorite.

  • Question: 1 TBLSP EACH sugar and salt to the herb mix, plus a bit more salt added to the olive oil and lemon mix? Anyone? I realize salt can be modified, but I want these to be great. A full Tablespoon of each isn't too much? Thanks.

  • Divine! Worth all the tears from chopping onions (not having a machine to smash them with) and the waiting. Must try recipe. Lamb was so tender and full of flavours!
