Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds lamb chops about 8 chops
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional, for extra flavor

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, salt, pepper, and lemon zest if using. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
  4. Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check; the internal temperature should be 145°F for medium-rare.
  5. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
  6. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
