Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the meat. Ensure the lamb chops are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for stronger flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness.
While the lamb chops are grilling, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened.
Mix balsamic vinegar and honey in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the cherry tomatoes, stirring to coat. Allow the tomatoes to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until they are caramelized and slightly thickened.
Remove the tomatoes from heat and stir in the chopped basil.
Plate the grilled lamb chops and spoon the balsamic cherry tomatoes on top or alongside. Serve immediately and enjoy!
