Ingredients 🛒
For the Lamb Chops:
8 lamb chops 🐑
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped 🌿
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish:
1 orange, halved 🍊
Fresh arugula leaves 🥗
Extra parsley, chopped 🌱
Instructions 🍳
Marinate the Lamb: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the lamb chops, ensuring they’re well-coated. Let them marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. 🕒
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. 🔥
Grill the Lamb: Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired (internal temp of 145°F/63°C). In the last minute, add the orange halves to the grill, cut side down, and grill until caramelized. 🍊
Rest the Chops: Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices. 🕒
Plate and Serve: Arrange the lamb chops on a platter with fresh arugula leaves. Place the grilled orange halves on the side for squeezing over the chops. Sprinkle with extra parsley and serve immediately. 🍽️
