Rosemary Garlic Lamb Chops
From The Kitchen
Lamb is a wonderful choice for special dinners and is a traditional part of Mediterranean cuisine. A simple marinade lets the flavor of the lamb shine.
🔥 Prep-ahead: marinate first with the herb & garlic marinade — it keeps two weeks in the fridge.

Gina's tip
Pair with roasted beets, sautéed broccoli rabe and a dollop of tzatziki.
Coach's Note
Lamb feels like an occasion, but it's one of the simplest things to cook. Don't save it only for holidays.
