Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 whole garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons rosemary, fresh, chopped
• 2 teaspoons thyme, fresh, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Place the lamb chops in a large bowl or shallow dish.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, black pepper, and honey to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Use your hands or a brush to evenly distribute the marinade.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the chops and marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

When ready to cook, remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Cook the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness.

Step 8

Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain their juices.

Step 9

Serve the lamb chops warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
