Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix 4 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Coat 8 lamb chops evenly with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to develop flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill lamb chops for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, prepare the mint yogurt sauce by combining 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint leaves, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 cup grated and drained cucumber in a small bowl; mix well.
  5. Step 5: Serve the grilled lamb chops with a dollop of mint yogurt sauce alongside your choice of sides.
