Ingredients

8 lamb chops, about 2 lb total (907 g total)
1 / 4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh thyme, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. **Prepare the Marinade:** In a bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. **Marinate the Lamb Chops:** Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to marry.
3. **Preheat the Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade and let any excess oil drain off.
4. **Grill the Lamb Chops:** Place the chops on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. **Rest and Serve:** Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of citrus flavor.
