Easy lamb chop recipe<\/h2>\n

Cooking lamb chops might sound intimidating, but it’s actually not. They are one of the easiest and quickest things to grill. And they are highly versatile. You can marinade them in fresh herbs and oil, or give them an Asian spin, or simply sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper and toss them on the grill or prepare them in a skillet. With only 10 minutes of your time you can easily impress your family or guests.<\/p>\n

Perfect grilled lamb chops in minutes<\/h2>\n

Lamb chops should be cooked over a high heat, quickly \u2014 which means they are quick to prepare. Though, whether you are preparing them on the grill or in a pan on the stove: It is important not to cook the chops for too long, otherwise they will dry out quickly. Rare or medium-rare is the way to go, so 3 minutes per side is all you need for perfectly juicy medium-rare lamb chops, depending on thickness of course.<\/p>\n

I like to use my LeMax glass ceramic grill<\/a>, as it has a large surface which makes it easy to prepare 8 chops (or more) all in one go. Otherwise, you can prepare this recipe using a BBQ or cast iron skillet preferably or grill plates, over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n

What herbs and spices go well with lamb?<\/h2>\n

If you are wanting to marinate your chops, then herbs and spices together with olive is a great way to go. Lamb is robust in flavor, so it can stand up to strong earthy herbs and spices. Herbs that work well are rosemary, oregano, basil, sage, or mint. Spices like coriander, cumin, cayenne, chili powder or paprika will also add extra flavor. And aromatics like garlic and onions, whether fresh or powdered spice, are truly welcomed.<\/p>\n

What to serve with lamb chops<\/h2>\n

Rosemary potatoes and green vegetables go really well with lamb chops. Or try a green bean salad, butter peas, steamed green asparagus, a simple risotto, polenta, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, sweet potato fries<\/a>, or crispy potato wedges. And don’t forget: homemade tzatziki<\/a> also goes wonderfully with lamb and potatoes.<\/p>\n
