Marinated Lamb Chops
Author: Randazzo
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- For the marinade
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 3 shallots, sliced
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- For the lamb
- 8 lamb loin chops
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 lemons
Instructions
- Combine garlic, shallots, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes and olive oil in a large Ziploc bag. Add lamb chops.
- Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the broiler and bring the lamb to room temperature removing any of the garlic, pepper flakes, herbs, shallots or excess olive oil that might have stuck to the meat.
- Season with salt and pepper and broil for approximately 3 minutes on each side.
- Allow to rest for 10 minutes before placing back in the broiler for 2 more minutes for medium-rare. The resting process allows the meat to redistribute its juices throughout the meat preventing dryness.
- Squeeze a little lemon, garnish with rosemary and a drizzle of olive oil and season to your liking with sea salt before serving.
