My Favorite Grilled Lamb Chops

I never grew up eating lamb. But after marrying into a family of Kiwis, I’ve found myself cooking and enjoying it much more over the past decade. These days, I’ve come to find that I love it best when it’s simply grilled (on the “barbie”, as our New Zealand relatives say) with lots of garlic, fresh herbs, and a bright squeeze of lemon…like this! ♡

It’s actually incredibly easy. Just marinate some lamb chops with olive oil, garlic, and rosemary, then toss them on a hot grill (or grill pan) for a few minutes until perfectly charred on the outside and juicy on the inside. Then melt some pats of lemon butter on top for a bright, citrusy finish.

It’s one of those back-pocket recipes that’s easy enough for casual spring dinners, yet impressive enough for Easter or anytime you’d like to serve lamb. Let’s make some!
