Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.333 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish, combine the rosemary, thyme, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Place the lamb chops on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is achieved.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
