Mouthwatering Grilled Lamb Chops with Chimichurri Sauce

Prep time: 2 hours 15 minutes (includes marination time)

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Total time: 2 hours 30 minutes Servings: 4

Ingredients:

Lamb Chops:

• 8 lamb chops

• Zest of 2 lemons

• 4 cloves of garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Chimichurri:

• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped

• 3 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2. Place the lamb chops in a large dish or sealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure all the lamb chops are well coated, then cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

4. While the grill is heating, prepare the chimichurri. In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined, then set aside to let the flavors meld.

5. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and grill them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

6. Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes after removing them from the grill to ensure they remain juicy.

7. Serve the grilled lamb chops with the chimichurri on the side or drizzled on top.
