Ingredients
- 3 racks lamb frenched and cut into chops and trimmed of all but thin layer of fat
- Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper or Kosher salt
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary fresh, chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme fresh, chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
- Liberally sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper all over.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and salt. Add the oil and whisk until combined.
- Pour the marinade all over the chops and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, or turn your grill on medium-high heat for direct heat grilling.
- Sear the chops (in batches if using a hot skillet) until browned on both sides, about a total of 4 to 5 minutes for medium to medium-rare.
- Transfer to a platter and squeeze a lemon wedge over the top. Sprinkle with a little more sea salt, if desired. Serve at once.
