- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

Grilled Lamb Chops Instructions:
Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels.
Mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.
Rub marinade evenly over the lamb chops.
Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours for best flavor.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place lamb chops on the hot grill.
Grill 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjust for desired doneness.
Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve with lemon wedges and your choice of sides.
Recipe Notes :
Resting lamb chops for a few minutes after grilling ensures the juices redistribute, keeping them tender.
Avoid overcooking to maintain a juicy, flavorful texture.
Adjust cooking time based on thickness and desired doneness—medium-rare is recommended for best flavor.
Pair with lemon wedges to enhance the herbaceous marinade.
Serve alongside grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or a fresh Mediterranean salad.
