Prime Time and Meat The Lobel's Out of Print

Grilled Loin Lamb Chops with Rosemary

Rosemary is perhaps the herb that best brings out the flavor of lamb, and while we usually prefer fresh rosemary, for this recipe, we like the dried herb. We call for loin or rib chops for this and a number of other recipes in the book. Rib chops are the same chops that make up a rack roast. They have no tenderloin but their meat is succulent and tasty. The rack roast can be cut into single, double, or triple chops. When the fat is trimmed and the end of the bone is left bare so that the meat resembles a small circle attached to the bone, the chops are called "French rib lamb chops"- and sometimes a paper frill is slipped over the bone to disguise it. However, when we grill chops, we leave the frilly decorations inside the house!

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons dried rosemary

2 cloves garlic, minced

12 rib or loin lamb chops, about 1 1/2 inches thick

Vegetable oil cooking spray

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Serves 6

1. Combine olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, and garlic in a small bowl. Put the chops in a shallow glass or ceramic dish and add the marinade, turning the chops several times to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

2. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray. The coals should be moderately hot to hot.

3. Grill the chops for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side for medium-rare lamb, or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
