Grilled Lamb Chops with Garlic and Rosemary

 

 

Ingredients:

For the Lamb Chops:
8 lamb chops
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Garnish:
Fresh rosemary sprigs
Roasted garlic bulbs (optional)

 

Instructions:

Marinate the Lamb Chops
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and let them rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight for a deeper flavor.
Preheat the Grill
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the Lamb Chops
Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature is 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Prepare the Garnish
While the lamb rests, grill whole garlic bulbs and fresh rosemary sprigs for a smoky aroma and added flavor.
Plate and Serve
Arrange the lamb chops on a serving plate, garnished with grilled rosemary sprigs and roasted garlic bulbs for an elegant presentation.

Decoration Tips:

Use a white or neutral plate to highlight the rich colors of the grilled lamb.
Scatter fresh rosemary sprigs across the plate for a rustic and aromatic touch.
Add a drizzle of olive oil over the lamb chops for a glossy finish.
For extra flair, serve with grilled vegetables or a side of mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
