Equipment

  • 1 Grill
  • 1 Wide-Mouthed Mason Jar
  • 1 Handheld Stick Blender
  • 1 Meat Thermometer

Ingredients

Gremolata Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice ie, the zest and juice of two lemons
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup mint leaves
  • ½ cup parsley
  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Lamb Rib Chops

  • 1 pound American lamb rib chops
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Before heading out to the grill, make the gremolota sauce. Combine all ingredients in a wide mouthed mason jar and combine with a handheld stick blender.
    2 Tablespoons lemon zest, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, 3 cloves garlic, ⅓ cup olive oil, ½ cup mint leaves, ½ cup parsley, ¼ cup walnuts, 1 teaspoon salt

  • Preheat your grill to 350 degrees using direct heat. Once the grill grates are hot, grill the lamb rib chops to the doneness of your liking as tested by an internal read meat thermometer (keep in mind the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145 internal degrees with a resting time of 3 minutes).
  • Once the lamb chops are grilled, remove them and place them on a plater and spoon a dollop of the gremolota sauce on each one. Place the gremolota sauce in a pretty serving bowl and serve the chops and sauce together along with your favorite sides for an impressive appetizer or main course.

Notes

Storage: Once cool, you can transfer leftover rib chops (without the gremolata sauce) to an airtight container. They will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
