Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
Lamb Chops
- 4 pieces double-cut lamb chops with frenched bone
Marinade Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salt divided
- ½ bunch fresh parsley chopped
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary stems removed and minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Marinade - In a bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, fresh parsley, minced rosemary, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and ½ tablespoon of salt. Add the black pepper and stir until everything is well combined.
- Step 2: Marinate the Lamb Chops - Place the lamb chops in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Step 3: Preheat the Grill or Oven - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Step 4: Season and Cook the Lamb Chops - Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining ½ tablespoon of salt on both sides. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
- Step 5: Rest and Serve - Transfer the lamb chops to a platter and cover with foil. Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle any remaining juices over the chops and garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges.
