Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lamb loin chops ½ inch thick
- 4 lemon slices optional garnish
Marinade
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 Tablespoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon crushed red chili flakes or to taste
Instructions
- In a blender, combine all marinade ingredients. Blend well.
- To a large zip-top bag, add lamb loin chops and marinade. Mix to make sure chops are covered with marinade. Seal and refrigerate to marinate for 5 hours, up to 24 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high grill (450°F). Remove chops from the bag and brush off excess marinade.
- Place lamb loin chops on the grill (or grilling pan) and grill until lamb loin chops reach an internal temperature of 140°F, about 15-20 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes for even cooking and nice grill marks.
- Place lamb on a platter and rest for 5 minutes. Serve and garnish with a slice of lemon.
Notes
- Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 days.
