Garlic Herb Lamb Chops Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 lamb chops (bone-in or boneless)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Marinate the lamb chops: Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse.
  3. Preheat the grill or skillet: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the lamb chops: Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place them on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your lamb more well-done.
  5. Rest the lamb chops: Once cooked to your desired doneness, transfer the lamb chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the lamb chops for added color and flavor. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
