A delightful recipe for grilled lamb chops infused with the flavors of garlic and thyme, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and thyme.
Mixing the marinade thoroughly ensures even distribution of flavors.
Place the lamb chops in the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for 30 minutes.
Marinating the lamb for longer enhances the flavor.
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it.
Ensure the grill pan is hot before adding the lamb to achieve a good sear.
Cook the lamb chops on the grill pan for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Remove the lamb chops from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender.
Serve the lamb chops warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
Serving the dish with a side of fresh salad complements the flavors.
