Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, mint, minced garlic, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the herb crust.

    ~5 min
  2. 2

    Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Press the herb mixture evenly onto both sides of each lamb chop.

    ~3 min
  3. 3

    Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

    ~2 min
  4. 4

    Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning the herbs.

    ~8 min
  5. 5

    While the lamb rests, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

    ~4 min
  6. 6

    Transfer the whipped feta to a serving bowl. Serve the lamb chops immediately with the whipped feta.

Tips

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb crust.
  • The whipped feta can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature slightly before serving for the best texture.
