Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the rosemary garlic marinade. Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves and garlic cloves, and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels, then place them in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the rosemary garlic marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. If using a dish, cover it with plastic wrap. If using a bag, seal it tightly.
Refrigerate the marinated lamb chops for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are glowing with a layer of white ash.
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Place the lamb chops on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is achieved.
Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the lamb chops hot, garnished with additional rosemary sprigs if desired.
