Father’s Day is right around the corner and it is a very special day around here: my husband’s 1st Father’s Day! Our little guy will be 9 months old this weekend and we are looking forward to celebrating the day as a family of 3. If my husband had his way, we would grill all year round. Since I do the cooking, he has dish duty and as we all know grilling means less mess!
Lamb and rosemary are a classic combination. This recipe is very simple but full of flavor. Grilling Tip: Whenever you are grilling meat, let it come to room temperature before putting it on the hot grill. If you place cold meat directly from the refrigerator on to a scorching hot grill the meat will shrink.
‘Nuff said. Happy Father’s Day everyone!
Your fork is waiting.
- 8 lamb loin chops
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 3 tbs fresh rosemary minced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Juice and zest of lemon
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
-
Place lamb chops in a large glass dish or resealable plastic bag.
-
Whisk all remaining ingredients together and pour over lamb.
-
Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer. (Overnight works great.)
-
When grill is ready, cook about for 4 minutes per side, turning once or until you've reached desired doneness.

WOW, this sounds really tasty…I would like to prepare in the next day or two needing to do a quick yet flavorful meal for hubby, Can I use same preparation but either fry or oven bake, not broil? If so what will the temps be for oven? Thank you kindly.

Hey Liz. Is there a way of making this without a grill?
Liz DellaCroce
Yes in the broiler!!! Just 3-4 minutes per side!

Hello! What temp should the grill be on? Thanks!
Liz DellaCroce
Mine doesn’t have specific temperatures so I just crack it on higher heat. I prefer to keep it hot and rotate it every couple minutes!
