GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH FRESH HERBS
Enjoy fresh herbs with these grilled lamb chops. I used what was in my garden: mint, rosemary, parsley, and chives. You may use whatever combination you like! Lamb is very delicate and will stay tender and tasty at medium-rare. Lamb chops grill very quickly, so watch them closely.

Steps:
- Trim any excess fat down to 1/8-inch around each lamb chop and sprinkle both sides with seasoning salt. Let sit for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grate once the grill is hot.
- Place lamb chops on the hot grate and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Rotate chops, to achieve crisscross grill marks, and continue grilling, 2 to 3 more minutes. Flip the chops and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Rotate chops and continue grilling an additional 2 minutes, or until they have reached desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
- Remove chops from grill and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Allow to rest under foil, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- To make the marinade: whisk the lemon juice, mustard, rosemary, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of the salt together in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil and season with pepper.
- Transfer the marinade to a large sealable plastic bag. Put the lamb chops in the bag, seal, and shake vigorously to evenly coat the meat. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 12.
- Remove the chops from the marinade and transfer them to a plate. Discard the marinade. Using a spoon, lightly scrape the remaining marinade off the chops and pat them dry.
- Preheat a large cast-iron grill pan over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Season the chops with salt. Place 2 chops on the grill pan, and cook until the chops have distinctive grill marks, about 3 minutes. To make crosshatched grill marks, re-position the chops, moving them about 45 degrees on the ridged pan, and continue to cook about 3 minutes more. (The chops will have only cooked on one side at this point.) Set the chops aside and repeat with the remaining 2 chops. Return the first set of chops to the pan to cook them on the other side. Reduce the heat to medium low, and cook the chops until medium-rare, about 2 minutes. Repeat with the other chops. Let the chops rest for about 5 minutes and serve.

Steps:
- Mix marinade ingredients in small bowl. Rub both sides of each chop with the paste; let stand at least 30 minutes. (Can be refrigerated overnight.).
- FOR CHARCOAL GRILL:.
- Heat enough coals to cover surface area large enough for four chops. Once coals are covered with gray ash, spread them, set grill rack in place, and cover grill with lid in order to heat rack, about 5 minutes. Or heat oven broiler.
- Sprinkle both sides of each chop with salt and pepper to taste.
- Position chops over hot coals. Grill until bottom of each chop is well browned, about 2 minutes. (If chops start to flame, pull off heat for a moment or extinguish flames with squirt bottle.) Turn each chop and cook about 2 more minutes for medium-rare or 2 1/2 minutes for medium. If broiling, position chops 2 to 3 inches from heating element and cook about 3 minutes each side for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes each side for medium.
- FOR GAS GRILL:.
- Turn all burners on grill to high, close lid, and heat until grill is very hot, about 15 minutes. Leave one burner on high and turn other burner(s) down to medium.
- Rub chops with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Grill chops, covered, over hotter part of grill, turning them once, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Move chops to cooler part of grill and continue grilling, turning once, to desired doneness, about 6 minutes for rare (about 120 degrees on instant-read thermometer), about 8 minutes for medium (about 130 degrees), or about 10 minutes for well-done (140 to 150 degrees).

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. The quality of your lamb chops and herbs will greatly impact the final dish. Look for lamb chops that are fresh, well-trimmed, and have a good amount of marbling. Use fresh herbs for the aioli, as dried herbs will not provide the same flavor.
- Cook the lamb chops to your desired doneness. Lamb chops can be cooked to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops and how you want them cooked. For medium-rare chops, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Let the lamb chops rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. Let the chops rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Make the herb aioli ahead of time. The aioli can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the lamb chops.
- Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for lamb chops include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled lamb shoulder chops with herb aioli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The lamb chops are juicy and flavorful, and the herb aioli adds a bright and herbaceous flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
