Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic cloves, finely chopped rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over the chops, and ensure each chop is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight for best flavor.
While the lamb chops are marinating, peel the onions and slice them thinly into rings.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the onion rings and cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Drizzle honey over the onions, stir to combine, and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the onions are caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Cook the lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare or adjust to your preferred doneness.
Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the lamb chops hot, topped with the honeyed onions. Pair with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
