Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a herb marinade.
Step 2
Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish. Pour the herb marinade over the lamb, ensuring each chop is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are well-lit and glowing before placing the lamb chops on the grill.
Step 4
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place them on the preheated grill.
Step 5
Grill the chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time depending on your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to ensure the chops reach a minimum of 145°F (63°C) internally.
Step 6
Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the herb-crusted lamb chops with your choice of heart-healthy sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
