Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb. lamb rib or loin chops
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 c. chopped fresh parsley

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are bright red in color and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the chops are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, thyme, and lemon juice will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to your desired doneness: Lamb chops are best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking will make them tough.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled lamb chops with garlic, olive oil, fresh thyme, and grilled lemons are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb chops are cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Serve with grilled vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
