Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring each chop is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate the lamb in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or for better flavor, overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
Place the lamb chops on the grill, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or grill to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately, garnished with additional fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.
