Lamb Chops

Method

Marinating the Lamb Chops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb Chops

    Place the baby lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.

Cooking the Lamb Chops

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Lamb Chops

    Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Grill the chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Preparing the Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Making the Salad

  1. 7

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the cucumber and slice the red onion thinly. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

  2. 8

    Make the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled lamb chops alongside a scoop of rice and a generous portion of salad on the side.
