Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb chops
• 1 cup Pomegranate juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
• 0.5 cup Pomegranate seeds (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together pomegranate juice, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, honey, ground cumin, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Grill the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed; the internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Garnish with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the grilled lamb chops warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
