What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? All the Buzz: Lamb Chop Lemon Thyme! Break out the grill! For a tasty alternative to beef and chicken, make today’s choice lamb. It is tender, it is lean, and most of all it has high nutritional value. Yay, low in fat! Did you know lamb is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and protein? Think about shaking up your menu a bit with a different kind of red meat. Everyone knows grilled meats taste better!
LAMB CHOP LEMON THYME
Ingredients:
3 lamb chops, 1″ thick bone-in
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Smidgen herb pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon thyme leaves
Instructions:
In a shallow dish, place lamb chops in a single layer. Pour olive oil over lamb chops. Sprinkle with kosher salt, herb pepper, garlic powder, and lemon thyme leaves. Coat both sides. Marinate for one hour in the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature for 20 minutes. Turn a gas grill on HIGH heat. Sear the chops for 3 1/2 minutes on one side. Flip over and cook an additional 2 1/2 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes to absorb juices. Serve immediately.
In Caracas it will be just 7 in the morning and I’m already thinking about changing the time for lunch. Your recipe for lamb looks exquisite and if it has so many qualities that meat, there is no choice but to solve the craving.

I used to make lamb for Easter. It has a much more robust flavor and it pairs well with potatoes and veggies.
And nice usage of smidgen, 😉

I am not a lamb fan (basically not eating much meat anyway) but my middle child might like it.
