Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 whole garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons rosemary, fresh, chopped
- 2 teaspoons thyme, fresh, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Place the lamb chops in a large bowl or shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Use your hands or a brush to evenly distribute the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chops and marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
When ready to cook, remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness.
Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
Serve the lamb chops warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
