1

Gather Ingredients

Collect the following ingredients to bring out the gourmet magic in your 'Herb-Topped Lamb Chops': lamb chops (4 pieces), fresh rosemary (2 sprigs), fresh thyme (2 sprigs), garlic cloves (4 cloves, minced), olive oil (2 tablespoons), salt (to taste), black pepper (to taste).

2

Prepare the Herb Rub

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary leaves, chopped thyme leaves, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix them together to create a fragrant herb rub.

3

Marinate the Lamb Chops

Generously rub the herb mixture over both sides of each lamb chop, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the lamb chops to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

4

Preheat the Grill or Pan

If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a pan, place it over medium-high heat and let it get hot. Ensure the surface is well-oiled to prevent sticking.

5

Cook the Lamb Chops

Place the marinated lamb chops on the preheated grill or pan. Cook each side for about 4-6 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

6

Let them Rest

Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy chops.

7

Garnish and Serve

Transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter and garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary or thyme. Serve them hot and enjoy the gourmet goodness!
