Garlicky Lemon-Thyme-Marinated Lamb Chops

photo: Scott Phillips

Servings:4

This bright marinade is always a sure-fire hit (besides lamb, it’s great on chicken, swordfish, and potatoes). The chops are delicious served with some pita bread and grilled eggplant.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice; more wedges for serving
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped garlic (about 12 cloves)
  • 1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 lamb rib chops, trimmed

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Add the garlic, thyme leaves (and a few sprigs, if you like), pepper flakes,1-1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. black pepper, and stir to combine.
  • Put the chicken in a nonreactive (stainless steel, glass, or plastic) container and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat on all sides. Marinate the lamb chops for at least 1 hour at room temperature or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to grill, heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (400°F to 475°F).
  • Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Grill the chops, turning once, until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Season with more salt to taste, and garnish with lemon wedges and thyme sprigs, if you like.

    There is an error in the text. It says to add the chicken to the marinade.

    Excellent on the lamb chops. I reserved some of the marinade to drizzle over the grilled chops. Very tasty
