Fry or grill the lamb in 2 batches for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and until cooked to desired doneness.

Let rest for 5 minutes.

Reduce heat of the pan used to grill down to medium-low, leaving any leftover drippings in the pan.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Sprinkle the chops with a extra dried oregano and a drizzle of the marinade sauce.
