Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary leaves, thyme leaves, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and honey. Whisk together to form a marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the hot grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the timing to your preferred level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium, or 145°F (63°C) for well-done.
Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the lamb chops warm with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or buttery mashed potatoes.
