Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper, salt, and lemon zest. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, making sure each piece is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld with the lamb.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness.
Remove the chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
