Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 whole lemon, zested
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, white wine, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon zest until well combined.
Step 2
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
Remove the lamb chops from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).
Step 7
Allow the lamb chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
