Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in the bowl, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the leftover marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the lamb chops warm, garnished with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
