Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring each chop is well coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate the lamb in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or for better flavor, overnight.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
Step 6
Place the lamb chops on the grill, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or grill to your desired level of doneness.
Step 7
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately, garnished with additional fresh thyme or rosemary if desired.
