Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
8 frenched lamb loin chops (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup flaky sea salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

Steps:

  • Mix together the oregano, garlic, lemon zest from 1 lemon, lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the lamb chops with kosher salt and pepper and add to the marinade, thoroughly coating. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and up to 6 hours.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • In the meantime, mix the flaky sea salt, rosemary and remaining lemon zest. Work the mixture with your fingers, releasing the oils from the zest and rosemary. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place on the direct heat side of the grill. Char on both sides and cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 minutes. If the lamb chops become too charred, but the internal temperature is still low, move them to the indirect heat side of the grill to finish cooking.
  • Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon rosemary salt before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are a deep red color with a fine grain. Avoid chops that are pale or have a coarse grain.
  • Trim the lamb chops: Remove any excess fat from the chops. This will help them cook evenly and prevent flare-ups on the grill.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the lamb chops in a flavorful marinade will help tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and herb marinade, a yogurt-based marinade, or a balsamic vinegar marinade.
  • Grill the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help sear the chops and create a nice crust. Cook the chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the lamb chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled lollipop lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your lamb chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
