Grilled Loin or Rib Lamb Chops
Lamb has a richness of flavor unmatched by beef or pork, with a meaty texture that can be as supple as that of tenderloin. This recipe is a good, easy way to start cooking lamb.
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • (6 chops) Lamb Loin Chop
  • (2 tablespoons) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • (1 tablespoon) Parsley - chopped fresh
  • (2 teaspoons) Sage
  • (2 teaspoons) Thyme
  • (2 teaspoons) Rosemary
  • (2 teaspoons) Oregano leaves
  • (3 cloves) Garlic - minced

Directions

  1. Combine chopped herbs, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl.  Rub the chops with the herb paste.  Marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 day in the refrigerator.
  2. Turn all burners on a gas grill to high, close the lid and heat until very hot, about 15 minutes.  Scrape the cooking grate clean with a wire brush; leave one burner on high and turn the other burners down to medium.
  3. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. 
  4. Grill the chops, covered, over the hotter part of the grill, turning them once, until well browned, 4 minutes.  (If the chops start to flame, move them to a cooler part of the grill and extinguish the flames with a squirt bottle of water.)  Move the chops to the cooler part of the grill and continue grilling, turning once, to the desired doneness, about 6-7 minutes for rare (about 120 degrees on an instant-read thermometer) or about 8-9 minutes for medium (about 130 degrees).
  5. Remove the chops from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Enjoy!
