Here’s a recipe to prepare delicious Rosemary Lamb Chops:

Prepare the Chops: Start by preparing the lamb chops, trimming off any excess fat and patting them dry with paper towels.
Marinating: In a bowl, mix together extra virgin olive oil with chopped garlic, finely chopped fresh rosemary, salt and pepper. If you like, you can add a bit of lemon juice for a tangy note. Immerse the chops in the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer to intensify the flavors.
Cooking: Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and your preferred degree of doneness. Cooking times may vary, so it’s best to check on the chops as they cook.
Resting: After cooking, let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat juicier and more flavorful.
Serving: Serve the chops hot, with an additional sprinkle of fresh rosemary if desired, or accompanied by sides of your choice, such as grilled vegetables or salad.

Check Doneness: Lamb is best when not overcooked. Aim for medium or medium-rare for optimal results.
Variations: You can add other herbs to the marinade, like thyme, mint, or a bit of mustard.

This simple yet delicious recipe highlights the natural flavor of lamb with the aromatic rosemary, perfect for a special meal!
