Give lamb chops a Greek twist with the addition of fresh oregano and a minty yogurt sauce.

If you have trouble finding the right size lamb loin chops, ask the butcher to cut them to the size you need. For a thicker sauce, use Greek-style yogurt.

Ingredients 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano 2 garlic cloves, minced 8 (4-ounce) lamb loin chops, trimmed 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons canola oil 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 1 garlic clove, minced

Preparation 1. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle lamb with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; rub with oregano mixture. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add oil to pan, swirling to coat. Add lamb, and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand for 5 minutes. 2. Combine yogurt and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Serve sauce with lamb.
