Greek‑style lamb chops, known as Paidakia, are one of the most aromatic grilled dishes in Mediterranean cuisine. The lamb chops are marinated with olive oil, lemon, garlic, and oregano, then cooked over high heat; the exterior becomes lightly caramelized while the inside stays juicy and tender. This recipe perfectly captures the signature lemony, herbaceous, smoky aroma of traditional Greek tavernas.
