Instruction
Step 1.
Place your lamb chops, 4 tbsp yogurt, za’atar, chili powder, and the zest of half an orange into a bowl. Grate in your garlic, salt, and pepper and add a drizzle of olive oil then mix together until evenly coated. Cover and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 2.
Time for the sauce. Chop your mint (saving some for garnish) and add into another bowl along with the rest of your yogurt, the zest of half an orange, and a squeeze of orange and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Stir together and leave in the fridge until ready to use.
Step 3.
Once your chops are ready, get them on a high-heat griddle pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through and nicely charred.
Step 4.
Stack them on a plate, drizzle your zesty yogurt over the top, and scatter over the leftover mint, a grating of orange zest, and a pinch of chili powder. Tuck in!
