Grilled Lamb Chops with Rosemary-Garlic Marinade

This recipe delivers juicy, flavorful lamb chops with a beautiful char and aromatic herbs.

Yields: 4 servings

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:

* 8 lamb chops, about 1-inch thick

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

* 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, rosemary, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

2. Marinate the lamb: Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chops are fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

3. Preheat grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, preheat for 10 minutes. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with ash.

4. Grill the lamb: Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off any excess. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

5. Rest and serve: Transfer the lamb chops to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

* For a more intense rosemary flavor, add a sprig or two of rosemary to the grill while cooking the lamb.

* Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or couscous.

* To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer. Lamb chops are considered medium-rare when cooked to 130-135 degrees Fahrenheit, medium when cooked to 140-145 degrees Fahrenheit, and well-done when cooked to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Enjoy!
