Ingredients:
- 800g (1.76 lbs) lamb chops (approximately 8 pieces)
- 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 10g (2 tsp) fresh rosemary, chopped
- 5g (1 tsp) salt
- 5g (1 tsp) black pepper
- 2g (1/2 tsp) lemon zest
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Stir until well mixed. This aromatic marinade will infuse the lamb with bold flavors.
Step 2: Marinate the Lamb Chops
Place the lamb chops in a large dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to seep into the meat.
Step 3: Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 200°C / 400°F). This ensures a perfect sear while keeping the interior tender and juicy.
Step 4: Grill the Lamb Chops
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your desired level of doneness. Use tongs to turn the chops, ensuring not to pierce the meat and lose its juices.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Once they have reached the desired doneness, remove the lamb chops from the grill. Let them rest for about 5 minutes, which allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Serve hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra zest of flavor.
