Rosemary Garlic Grilled Lamb Chops
Grilled lamb chops infused with rosemary garlic flavours! The marinade is made with red wine vinegar which pairs well with lamb because it cuts through the richness of the strong lamb flavour, and it tenderises economical cuts of lamb. Make this with any quick-cook cut of lamb, chops or steaks.
Ingredients :
- 600 - 800 g / 1.2 - 1.6lb lamb chops
- Oil , for cooking, if required
- 2 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 garlic cloves , minced
- 1 1/4 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 3/4 - 1 tsp sea salt
- Black pepper
Directions :
- Mix Marinade ingredients in a bowl until salt dissolves. Add lamb, mix to coat, then marinate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, up to 24 hours.
- Brush BBQ bars with oil if required (Note 1) and heat to medium high (or heat 1/2 tbsp oil in skillet on stove on medium high).
- Cook lamb to your taste. I had 4 x 150g/5oz lamb loin chops about 2cm/3/4" thick and 3 minutes on each side = medium. I also cooked smashed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs for garnish.
- Transfer lamb to plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve with sides of choice!
