Instructions

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
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Press the herb mixture evenly onto both sides of each lamb chop.
~3 min - 3
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
~2 min - 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
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
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.
