Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice to create the marinade.
2. Step 2: Coat 8 lamb chops with the marinade, ensuring each chop is evenly covered. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to infuse flavors.
