The best lamb I have ever had

Other than incredible lamb madras at a select few indian restaurants, tonight I made the best lamb I have ever had.

I marinated the lamb chops (at room temperature for 20 minutes) with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Then I broiled the lamb for about 5 minutes on each side. The meat was so tender, so moist, so perfect. I absolutely loved this marinade and will definitely make this lamb again. I was also very careful not to overcook the lamb because overcooked lamb is chewy and icky and dry. Moist lamb is yummy yum yum.

For a side dish, I tried out a grilled romaine lettuce recipe. I really didn't like it much and wouldn't recommend it. But the lamb made up for the side dish.
