Ingredients:

  • 4 lamb chops (about 1-inch thick, 500g total)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (45ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons or 30ml)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh lemon wedges for serving
  • Additional mint leaves (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, mint, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Place lamb chops in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Set your broiler to high. Let it preheat while the lamb marinates.
  4. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place marinated lamb chops on it, ensuring they are spaced apart.
  5. Broil lamb chops for 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for another 5-6 minutes.
  6. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Adjust time as needed.
  7. Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and mint if desired.
