Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 small lamb chops
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 lemon cut in half
- fresh thyme
- 1/8 cup olive oil
- sea salt
Instructions
- Put the lamb chops in a shallow dish and cover with 1/8 cup of oil, the lemon juice, and a couple of tablespoons of thyme leaves. Cover and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Turn the chops over a couple of times to allow all surfaces to marinate.
- Preheat a stove top grill pan on high heat for about 5 minutes. Lower the heat slightly and grill the chops for about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Don't move them once you put them down so you will get nice grill marks. Grill the lemon alongside the chops.
- Serve right away sprinkled with sea salt and more fresh thyme leaves.
Notes
You can use larger lamb loin chops for this recipe, they will just take a little longer to cook.
