Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for lamb chops:
Ingredients
- 8 lamb chops
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Marinate the Lamb Chops:
- In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and olive oil.
- Rub the mixture onto both sides of the lamb chops.
- Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper.
- Let the lamb chops marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
- Cook the Lamb Chops:
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- If using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates. If using a skillet, add a small amount of olive oil to the pan.
- Place the lamb chops on the grill or in the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- Rest the Lamb Chops:
- Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful chop.
- Serve:
- Serve the lamb chops with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, citrusy burst of flavor.
- Pair with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Enjoy your delicious lamb chops!
