Lamb Preparation

Sides (Optional)

Method

Marinating the Lamb

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb Chops

    Place the New Zealand lamb loin chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each chop is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Lamb

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Lamb Chops

    Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chops on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.

Preparing the Sides (Optional)

  1. 5

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Set aside.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Yogurt Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the yogurt with chopped fresh mint to create a refreshing sauce. Season with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Lamb

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

  2. 8

    Add Sides

    Serve the lamb chops with the sliced cucumber and yogurt sauce on the side, garnished with additional mint if desired.
