Ingredients

Scale

8 lamb chops, about 1 inch thick

1/4 cup olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

1 lemon, juiced and zested

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Marinate the Lamb Chops: Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.

3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

4. Grill the Lamb Chops: Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the chops for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare.

5. Rest and Serve: Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful chop.

Notes

Pairing Suggestions: Serve these lamb chops with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad. A side of mint jelly or tzatziki sauce complements the flavors well.

To Ensure Success: Make sure to let the lamb chops rest after grilling to retain their juices. Don’t skip the marinating time as it enhances the flavor and tenderness of the meat.

Variations: You can add other herbs like thyme or oregano to the marinade for a different flavor profile.
