Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp grated lemongrass, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 4 lamb chops, turning to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Brush the grill grates with oil. Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until medium-rare (internal temperature 135°F). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, toss zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 15-18 minutes, until charred and tender. Serve the lamb chops with the grilled vegetables.
