Grilled Marinated Lamb Chops
Oh, these grilled marinated lamb chops are so tender and just so incredibly flavorful. Grilled to perfection. Simple, elegant, and just amazing. They can sit in the marinade for two hours, but we think they're even better when chilled overnight.

Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary fresh, chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme fresh, chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 8 lamb rib chops trimmed of excess fat
- 1 tablespoon finishing salt such as Madlon, for finishing, optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and olive oil.
- Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and sprinkle salt and pepper all over them. Next, brush them all over with the olive oil mixture, coating both sides of the chops.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill (even electric will work in a pinch) for direct grilling over high heat.
- Using tongs, place the chops over the hottest part of the grill, turning once, until browned and crisp on the exterior and medium-rare at the center when tested with a knife, about 10 minutes total. The internal temperature should be 140°F. Let rest for a few minutes and garnish with a light sprinkle of finishing salt, if desired.
- Transfer the chops to plates with a bed of white bean and cucumber salad. Serve at once.

- The chops can chill in the marinade for just a couple of hours, but they are even better when allowed to rest overnight. If you have time, allow the chops to come to room temp before grilling.
- To make the salad, simply combine the following ingredient in a bowl and chill (covered) until ready to use:
- 1 15 oz can white beans, drained and rinsed (ie, Navy, Great Northern White)
- ½ English cucumber, cut into bite-size pieces
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Juice of one lemon
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
