Total Time:40 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
For the Marinade and Lamb Chops
4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Marinate the Lamb: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this marinade thoroughly over all sides of the 4 lamb chops. Let the chops sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the Lamb: Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill and cook each side for about 5 minutes to reach medium-rare doneness, or adjust timing to your preferred level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the chops and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
Serve: Arrange the lamb chops on a serving platter, garnish with fresh lemon wedges, and serve hot. Complement the dish with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
For more tender chops, marinate the lamb for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
You can substitute fresh rosemary with dried rosemary; use 1 teaspoon dried instead of 1 tablespoon fresh.
Letting the lamb rest after grilling helps keep the meat juicy.
Adjust grilling time according to chop thickness and desired doneness (use a meat thermometer if needed).
This recipe pairs well with side dishes like roasted potatoes or a mixed greens salad.
