- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 5-6 sprigs mint
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Spiced Dark Ale Marinade
- 1 cup of dark ale ex. a porter or a balanced brown ale

Greek Marinade

- ½ cup cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- For the Mint Yogurt Marinade - chop the mint, mince the garlic, squeeze the lemon juice and mix the ingredients together. Cover the lamb chops completely. This marinade also tenderizes, so do not use it overnight - 2 to 3 hours is ideal.
- For the Spiced Dark Ale Marinade - first soak the star anise in the ale for 5 minutes then add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until combined. Cover the lamb chops with the marinade.
- For the Greek Marinade - chop the oregano (or use the dried version) and mince the garlic. Mix all the ingredients and rub all over the lamb chops.
Notes
Marinate the lamb chops for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours or overnight. If there is yogurt in the marinade go with 3 hours for best results.
Nutritional information not provided - the marinade is not consumed and should always be discarded after use. It's role is simply to flavor the lamb chops.
