Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to form a marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that all the chops are well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat the outdoor grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat the pan over medium-high heat.
Remove lamb chops from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the grill or pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness, ensuring nice grill marks are obtained.
Let lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled lamb chops hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
