8 (4-ounce) lamb chops
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary leaves
1 lemon, halved
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat a hot grill and the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rub the chops with oil, garlic, rosemary, lemon, salt, and pepper. Place on the grill and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Put on a baking sheet and finish in the oven, about 5 minutes, or until desired doneness
I agree with "cutie" . This is almost always how we do chops. Sometimes, especially in fall/winter I like to substitute a nice red wine for the lemon juice. Remember that you should use good wine even for cooking, and you don't need much, so the rest can be served along with the chops. Garlic and a good Cab - YUM!
