Description
This recipe features grilled lamb chops seasoned simply and served with a vibrant Charred Herb Green, offering an elegant yet accessible meal. It’s a balanced, versatile, and budget-friendly dish designed for busy families and health-conscious eaters, proving that healthy eating can be delicious and simple.
Ingredients
- 4–6 lamb loin or rib chops (about 680 g total)
- 0.25 cup mixed fresh herbs (parsley, mint, oregano, thyme, basil)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium lemon (for zest and juice)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Lamb: Pat lamb chops thoroughly dry with paper towels; season generously all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat Grill: Prepare your outdoor grill or a heavy-duty grill pan for medium-high heat, aiming for about 400-450°F (200-230°C).
- Grill Chops & Herbs: Brush the lamb chops lightly with olive oil. Place them on the hot grill and grill for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 130-135°F / 54-57°C), until they develop beautifully charred grill marks. Grill a few extra sprigs of herbs directly on the grates for just 1-2 minutes until slightly wilted and smoky. (For thinner chops, reduce grilling time by 1-2 minutes per side.)
- Rest the Lamb: Remove the grilled lamb chops from the heat and tent them loosely with aluminum foil on a clean cutting board. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Finish & Serve: Roughly chop the grilled herbs and the remaining fresh herbs. In a small bowl, combine them with a drizzle of olive oil, the fresh lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice, mixing until the Charred Herb Green is vibrant and fragrant. Serve this bright mixture immediately over the rested grilled lamb chops for a fresh, zesty finish.
Notes
No outdoor grill? You can oven broil (4-6 minutes per side), stovetop sear (4-5 minutes per side then 5-7 minutes in a 375°F (190°C) oven), or air fry (10-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C), flipping halfway). If chops are overcooked, slice thinly against the grain for salads or pitas. For uneven char, adjust grill zones or reposition your pan. Opt for grass-fed lamb and organic herbs for enhanced flavor and nutrients.
