Lamb Chops in a Lemon, Chive and Garlic Marinade

Ingredients: 

6 Lamb Chops

4 sliced garlic cloves

1 T chopped mint

1 T chopped fresh rosemary 

½ C minced chives or green portion of green onions

¼ C olive oil

⅓ C white balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper

Directions: 

1. Combine garlic, mint, rosemary, chives, olive oil and vinegar and pour into a 9×13 baking dish.

2. Coat lamb chops with salt and pepper. 

3. Add the lamb chops to marinade and flip once or twice to evenly coat them.

4. Refrigerate 4-6 hrs

5. 1 hour before grilling, remove lamb chops from the fridge, flip them over and allow to come to room temperature in the marinade.

6. Heat up the grill.

7. Grill lamb chops for 3 minutes on each side and then allow to rest covered in foil for 10 minutes.  This will give you a medium-rare lamb chop. If you desire well done, just add a minute to each side.
