Follow this recipe to grill lamb chops to your preferred doneness and top them with a fresh, bright mint and lemon gremolata.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 loin lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 large lemon, zest only
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for gremolata)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for gremolata)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the gremolata first: In a small bowl, combine the chopped mint, parsley, lemon zest, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix gently until just combined. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the lamb: Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of the chops with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season evenly with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Clean and lightly oil the grill grates.
  4. Grill the lamb chops: Place the chops on the hot grill. For medium-rare (130°F internal temperature), grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side. For medium (140°F internal temperature), grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Adjust time based on chop thickness.
  5. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately, topping each chop with a spoonful of the fresh mint gremolata.

Notes

  • For best results, let the seasoned lamb chops sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.
  • To keep the gremolata bright green, do not prepare it more than one hour ahead of time.
  • If you do not have a grill, you can sear the chops in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
