Love Recipe: Marinated Grilled Lamb Chops

You should never grow tired of creating new experiences for you and your significant other to share. A great outlet for this practice is the preparation of meals together. During this process, you can spend quality time while delving deep into the intricate world of the culinary arts.

With that idea in mind, I enlisted one of my favorite chefs (Chef Carmisha) and asked her to share a great date night recipe. Here’s what she came up with. (Oh, and ladies feel free to prepare this for me if you want to practice first.)

Herb Marinated Grilled Lamb Chops

Ingredients:

¼ cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon of Black Pepper
8 loin lamb chops

Method of Preparation:

1 . Lightly spray the grill with grill oil spray before heating. Preheat the grill to high heat.

2 . Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

3 . In a sealable bag, place lamb chops and marinade ingredients. Squeeze out the excess air and seal the bag. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate overnight.

4 . About 20 to 30 minutes before grilling, remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator. This allows the protein strands in the meat to loosen up and helps keep the meat tender during the cooking process.

5 . Remove the lamb chops from the bag, draining off the excess marinade. Place each lamb chop on the preheated grill. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until desired doneness.

Yield:
4 Servings

Fly Suggestion: You should pair this with a nice full-bodied red wine, like a cabernet or merlot. If those aren’t available, then try a nice kool-aid 
