Ingredients

• 4 pieces lamb chops
• 1 large lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chops are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

3. 3

   Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and glowing.

4. 4

   Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before grilling. Discard the leftover marinade.

5. 5

   Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (145°F for medium-rare).

6. 6

   Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
