Grilled Lamb with Fresh Herbs Marinade

Had this last night and it was absolutely divine...



Here's the marinade/sauce


Grilled Lamb Chops with Fresh Herbs Marinade

4 pcs lamb chops
3 garlic cloves, minced
2-3 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
2-3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary leaves (pulled from sprigs)
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoons combination of dried basil and thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil

Combine the garlic, herbs (fresh and dried) pepper, and olive oil and mix well. Rub into the chops and marinade for as long as you can. Reserve some of the marinade for later.

Grill the chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on how done you want them to be. I usually turn them over once I notice that the juices are coming out on top.

Set aside the lamb and put a foil on top of them to keep them warm and for the juices to go back to the meat. Add the leftover juices (in the grill) to the leftover marinade. This will serve as the sauce.

I really like my lamb to have a squeeze of lemon so serve the lamb with lemon wedges. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top. Serve with potatoes and salad on the side.

Enjoy!
