Why Marinate Lamb Chops?
Elise Bauer
Marinating the chops ahead of time serves two purposes.
It’s an excellent way to pre-salt the meat, which helps the chops retain moisture while they cook.
Marinating with herbs and garlic gives the lamb extra flavor.
Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer
The marinade in this recipe includesfresh rosemary, salt and pepper, garlic, and olive oil.
Marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
In fact, the only thing you really have to take care with is to not overcook it.

Lamb is best eaten pink, from rare to medium.
Overcooking tender lamb chops can result in dry, less-than-tender meat.
For this reason I like to usethe finger testto check the doneness of the chops.

We love lamb chops served withpolenta,mashed potatoes, orcelery root.
For a green, some stir-fried snow peas or boiled and sauteed asparagus or green beans.
A light mixed green salad, simply dressed with extra virgin olive oil and vinegar is lovely too.

Love Lamb?
The flavor of lamb is best when prepared rare or medium rare.
Coat the lamb chops with the mixture, massaging it into the meat with your fingers.
Elise Bauer
you could also marinate the chops in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
(Allow double rib chops to stand at room temperature 30 to 40 minutes before cooking.)
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-proof saute pan over high heat.
Elise Bauer
When the oil is shimmering hot, sear the chops.
Sear double rib chops on all sides about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
At this point, if you want your lamb chops rare, they are likely cooked enough.
For this reason I usethe finger testto check the doneness of the chops.
