Grilled Lamb Chops

This is one of our favorite things to eat,

grilled lamb chops!

 I like to marinade them for the day. 

I shake up the marinade ingredients in a jar

and pour it over the chops in a ziplock bag.

 I smoosh it around to make sure they are well 

coated. Remove them from the fridge

 15 minutes before grilling. 

 Allow 2 chops per person. 

We had an extra one to share tonight.

 We like our lamb medium-rare, so it only takes 

 about 10 minutes on a preheated grill, depending

 on the thickness. Adjust for your taste.

 This is such a fast dinner. All I need to add is a 

vegetable and potato...and of course red wine!

 I have 2 favorite marinades. One is the same one

 I use for grilled leg of lamb. I've posted that one

 below. The other one has a hint of curry powder,

 though you can't pick that out in the flavor. 

Then there's always my go-to seasoning

prep for grilling meat.  All good! 

Marinated Lamb Chops

8 Lamb Chops

1 t curry powder

1 t salt

2 T minced onion or 1T dried

1 large clove garlic, minced about 2-3T

1/4 C lemon juice

1/4 C red wine

1/4 C olive oil

Mix together all marinade ingredients and add

to the lamb chops in a in sealable bag, turning

 to coat. Marinade in refrigerator for 2 hours.

 Bring to room temperature for 15 minutes

before grilling. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side. 

(can also use a hot cast iron skillet on stovetop)

 I like them slightly charred and medium-rare 

on the inside. Let rest 5 minutes.

serves: 4
