Ingredients

2 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Pinch cayenne pepper
Coarse sea salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 lamb chops, about 3/4-inch thick

Directions

In a food processor fitted with a metal blade add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, cayenne, and salt. Pulse until combined. Pour in olive oil and pulse into a paste. Rub the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and allow the chops to come to room temperature; it will take about 20 minutes.

Heat a grill pan over high heat until almost smoking, add the chops and sear for about 2 minutes. Flip the chops over and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes for medium.

Easy perfection.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This will impress any lamb lover. I couldn't get the paste to form in my food processor, so next time I will finely mince the... dry ingredients and stir them into the oil. Made it with sauteed potatoes and a nice salad. Super easy and absolutely delicious.Read more

WOW!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband is Armenian and cooks the most amazing lamb dishes, but mostly with ground lamb or Kabobs. This was my first... attempt at cooking lamb and it was a smashing success!! I made it with Giada's salad with smoked mozarella and sun dried tomato cigars, and a simple cous cous with peas and it was sooo easy and delicious. I think hubby might buy me some diamonds for whipping up this meal!!! Thanks Giada! :o)Read more
