Notes

  • When buying lamb, always reach for American lamb. It’s SO MUCH fresher than any other type of lamb, it’s meatier, more nutritious and has a sweet, rich taste.
  • Drizzle the Black Olive Herb Butter over the cooked Grilled Lamb Chops when they are still hot. Since the cooked meat is still hot, it absorbs SO MUCH of the herbal - buttery flavor.
  • For a low carb, keto or paleo version, serve these Grilled Lamb Chops with grilled vegetables or a side salad!
