Ingredients
  

  • 8 lamb chops (about 180–200 g each), trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup plain labneh (or thick Greek yogurt, drained)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced (for labneh)
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil (for labneh)
  • salt and pepper, to taste (for labneh)
  • 2 cups fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for salad)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste (for salad)

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub over both sides of the lamb chops and let rest 15–30 minutes at room temperature.
  • For the garlic-herb labneh, stir together labneh, finely minced garlic, mint, parsley, and 1 tsp olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper and chill until serving.
  • For the parsley salad, combine chopped parsley leaves, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; set aside to let flavors meld.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high. Oil grates lightly if needed.
  • Grill the lamb chops 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or to your preferred doneness), turning once for a good char. An instant-read thermometer should read about 135°F for medium-rare.
  • Transfer chops to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and rest 5 minutes so juices redistribute.
  • Serve the lamb with generous spoonfuls of garlic-herb labneh and the parsley salad on the side. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil or an extra squeeze of lemon.
