Ingredients
  • 8 lamb chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup mint leaves
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  1. 1. Brush lamb chops with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator, 15 minutes to 2 hours.
  2. 2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Cook lamb chops until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
