Grilled Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chops – Mediterranean Spring Recipe

Beneath the Olive Tree

There’s something timeless about the Mediterranean —

The dappled light through ancient olive trees,

The soft hum of cicadas in the distance,

And the whisper of sea breeze carrying the scent of grilled herbs and citrus.


Here, meals are more than food — they’re memories in the making.

And on the table, nestled beside a fresh herb salad,

Are tender lamb chops, marinated in rosemary, garlic, and lemon.


Lamb, a nourishing choice rich in protein, zinc, and iron,

Is not only flavorful but deeply satisfying —

A perfect fit for those who savor both health and indulgence.


This is a dish born of sunshine and simplicity,

Made for slow afternoons and long conversations.

A celebration of good food, good health, and the good life.


Recipe:

Grilled Marinated Lamb Chops

Serves: 4

Prep time: 10 minutes + marinating

Grill time: 6–8 minutes


Ingredients:

  • 8 lamb chops (preferably French-trimmed)

  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tsp sea salt

  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes for heat


Preparation:

  • Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

  • Marinate the lamb: Place lamb chops in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour over the marinade, coating well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  • Grill: Let lamb come to room temperature. Preheat your grill or grill pan over high heat. Grill the chops for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.

  • Rest before serving: Let the grilled chops rest for 5 minutes to lock in their juices.

  • Serve with: Lemon wedges, a vibrant herb salad, or grilled spring vegetables.


Chef’s Tip:

To achieve that irresistible char, resist overcrowding the grill. Sear in batches if needed and let each chop develop a rich, caramelized crust.
