Ingredients

  • 8 lamb chops, trimmed, 1 inch thick
  • 2 medium lemons - 1 zest and 1 whole to garnish
  • 1 teaspoon ground green cardamoms
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, blend olive oil, lemon zest, cardamom, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour marinade over lamb and refrigerate for one hour, turning occasionally. 
  • Grill over hot coals or stove grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the desired degree of doneness is achieved, frequently brushing with marinade. You may use a meat thermometer and cook the meat to 140°F for medium rare. Allow the chops to rest 3 to 5 minutes before eating; they will continue to cook. 
  • Place the chops, bones down, into the remaining lemon for an original presentation.
