  • 2 lemons, zested and juiced
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
  4. Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
  5. Serve the grilled lemon and rosemary lamb chops hot with your choice of sides or a refreshing salad. Enjoy!
