In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this marinade all over the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Lamb Chops

In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrot, and celery, sautéing until the vegetables are tender. Add the orzo pasta and toast for 2-3 minutes until slightly golden. Pour in the chicken broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until orzo is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.

Cook the Orzo Pilaf

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Cook the Lamb Chops
