Delicious Rosemary Lamb Chops Recipe for a Mediterranean Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 8 pieces lamb chops (preferably rib or loin chops)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

    Allow the marinade to sit for at least 10 minutes for better flavor.
  2. Marinate the Lamb Chops

    Add the lamb chops to the marinade and coat them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Make sure the grill grates are clean and oiled.
  4. Grill the Lamb Chops

    Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (145°F for medium-rare).
  5. Rest the Chops

    Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    Resting helps retain the juices.
