Grilled Rosemary Lamb Chops

*****Sandy's Note:

Just writing this recipe makes me want to drool as I remember how delicious it was . . . mmmmm, lamb. My husband who loathes sheep is now ready to raise some so that we can have this recipe more often. Easy. Yummy. Lamby.

• Total Time: 12 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 7 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon rosemary
• ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
• 1 dash cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 lamb chops , about 3/4-inch thick

Directions:

1. Mix ingredients except for lamb in a bowl.
2. Place the chops in a container to marinate. I use a zip lock bag.
3. Pour ingredients over chops, making sure both sides are well covered.
4. Let marinate overnight. The longer the better, but give them at least one hour.
5. Let chops come to room temperature (approximately 20 minutes) before grilling. Discard marinade.
6. Cook on the bbq or under the broiler. For medium try about 3 1/2 minutes per side. I have also used venison chops with this recipe with great success.

I only had 3 chops so I used the juice of 2 limes in the marinade and let it marinate overnight.I used my George Foreman to cook the lamb and it was perfectly cooked in a total of three and a half minutes. I served it with white asparagus and baked rice for a truly enjoyable meal. Thanks for sharing.

Tender, juicy and delicious chops and loved that they were so easy to prepare; Served them with a Greek salad and Mashed Potatoes, we loved our meal!

Very good, I followed the recipe and used fresh lemon juice, marinated overnight, broiled 5 min on one side and 4 on the other. I wanted medium and they were perfect.
