Ingredients
- 8 lamb chops, loin or rib 1-1 1/2 inches thick
- 2 -3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Smash garlic cloves, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and salt and chop/grind it until it forms a paste. Scrape into a bowl, add the herbs and pepper and combine thoroughly. Rub the paste over the chops. If possible, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld and the chops to marinate.
