lamb marinade

I found this in a very old edition of Joy of Cooking. It's really easy and really good. I've made it a few times. The book suggests that the marinade would be good for kebobs. I used it for 4 - 6 loin lamb chops, which I then grilled for 6 minutes on each side for medium.

• 1/4 cup olive oil (I used extra virgin)
• 2 TBS lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/8 ground black pepper (I just gave a good grind of the pepper mill)

Mix the ingredients together and marinate the meat for at least 3 hours, turning every so often. (I put everything into a zip-lock bag and tossed it into the fridge.)
