Do you love a good Lamb Chop? Than look no further than these beautiful Grilled “lion” Lamb Chops (they look like miniature porterhouse steaks). Full of juicy flavor and super easy to grill. I picked up 2 packs with 4 chops in each package and used fresh herbs from my garden; parsley, mint, rosemary, lemon balm added black garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt and black pepper.
I like to marinate before grilling to give their flavor, a punch. I usually marinate my lamb chops for about 4 hours but today I didn’t have the time, “confessions of a busy cook” so I added the marinade right before I put the chops on the grill, basically just enough to coat the chops with the herbs, lemon and garlic and not have them swimming in it. Lamb chops are usually very tender and don’t need a lot of acidity or tenderizing. If you don’t care for lamb, you could also use this marinade for chicken too (either boneless or on the bone).
Yum, Yum…
