Zesty grilled lamb

This zesty grilled lamb is absolutely perfect for summer barbecues, parties or easy midweek suppers! You can use lamb chops or leg steaks and you can serve it with a simple Mediterranean style salad, roasted veggies or boiled potatoes. I've sliced the steaks and tucked these into grilled pittas with some onion and tomato slices, coriander, grilled red pepper, then drizzled some lemon juice over them. I was just divine!
