Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Coat 4 lamb chops (4 oz each) evenly and marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 6 cups baby spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted and tender, about 2-3 minutes. Season with 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest.
  4. Step 4: Plate lamb chops with garlic spinach sauté for a flavorful paleo meal rich in protein and greens.
