Ingredients
- 1 cup Nicoise or Kalamata olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup green or Castelvetrano olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
- 2 to 3 anchovy fillets
- 1 clove garlic
- 12 lamb chops, preferably American, about 1 inch thick
- 1 lemon, sliced into wedges
Instructions
- Combine the Nicoise olives, green olives, parsley leaves, olive oil, capers, anchovy fillets and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and the mixture is tight. Set aside.
- Combine the lamb chops and half of the tapenade in a large bowl (reserve the remaining tapenade for garnish). Refrigerate and allow to marinate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Add the lamb to the grill and turn up the heat slightly. Grill the lamb on each side for around 3 minutes for medium-rare, with an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F. Serve with the reserved tapenade and a wedge of lemon.

Reviews
Have made this many times since watching GZ make it on TV. Excellent – I cut chops from a rack of lamb and serve it with French Tarbais White Beans and haricots verts – both from the garden. Thanks for a great recipe!
Absolutely delicious! Typically not a huge lamb fan, but this recipe is a winner. The tapenade is delicious…a bit pricey to make this recipe, definitely worth every penny!
Quick & easy and made me a fan of lamb!
Lamb and tapenade make for a delicious combination.
Love this recipe! Will definitely make again!
Made this for my husband and he said best meal he had!
This was absolutely amazing! So easy to make, too! I will absolutely be making this again. I think the tapenade would be great in so many dishes. It had a wonderful flavor and paired so well with the lamb
Awesomeness on the grill and fast fast fast.
Very tasty! We enjoyed it! Will cook it again for sure !
