Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a wide, shallow dish, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add the lamb chops and turn until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  2. Step 2

    Preheat a grill to high. Crumble the feta into a small bowl and add the mint and remaining tablespoon of thyme.

  3. Step 3

    Grill the lamb, turning once, until both sides are golden and the fat is toasted and bubbling, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to warm plates. Sprinkle the herbed feta over the lamb, then drizzle each plate with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.
