• Serves: 4
• Course: Dinner

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme
• 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tsp old-fashioned Dijon mustard
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper

• 2 tbsp  olive oil
• 8-10 lamb chops, Frenched

Preparation

1. Combine herb marinade ingredients.
2. Pour marinade ingredients into dish with lid or into re-sealable plastic bag. Add lamb chops. Massage lamb chops to evenly distribute herb marinade. Allow to marinate in fridge for at least one hour, but can be marinated overnight.
3. Spray or oil BBQ grill. Preheat grill to med-high heat. When grill is hot, remove lamb chops from marinade and place onto hot grill. Grill each side 3-4 minutes until medium rare. Remove from grill and allow to rest 2-3 minutes before serving.
4. Pairs well with Sawmill Creek Merlot
5. With aromas of berry and hints of herbs, this medium-bodied, fruity merlot compliments the earthiness of the lamb.
6. Tip
7. - Because of their small size, lamb chops grill up quickly. To preserve the meat’s natural juices turn only once and grill to medium rare.
