Let’s Taste This Dish!
- Begin by sourcing around a pound and a half of lamb chops, either frenched or with the bone in.
- Wish up a marinade by combining six minced cloves of garlic, a quarter cup of finely chopped fresh rosemary, the zest and juice of one whole lemon, a third cup of extra virgin olive oil, a teaspoon of sea salt and a half teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well.
- Open your lamb chops out in a shallow dish and drench generously with the marinade. Massage well for a good couple of minutes to ensure every inch is covered.
- Leave these to marinate in the fridge for a minimum of two hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Ignite your grill to medium-high heat for searing the chops, ensuring the grates are well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Shake off any excess marinade and lay your lamb chops onto the grill. Let them cook for around four minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your meat more done.
- Remove from the grill and allow to rest for at least three minutes before serving to let the juices stabilize.
- For the grand finale, garnish with a spritz of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Enjoy your Garlic and Rosemary Grilled Lamb Chops with a side of garlic-infused mashed potatoes, a crisp salad, or grilled veggies of your choice.
