Grilled Lamb Chops in a Curry Marinade
These lamb chops are marinated in a fragrant curry blend that infuses them with rich flavors and subtle spices. The grilling process locks in the juiciness, creating a tender bite that you won’t be able to resist!
Ingredients:
- 8 lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the curry powder, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
- Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb chops from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired, and enjoy your beautifully grilled lamb chops!
