Here, a simple marinade complements the flavor of grilled lamb. This is easy and delicious summer fare.

Steps

1. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients to form a wet paste. Smear the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and leave to marinate, at room temperature, for 1 hour.
3. Prepare a charcoal fire (or preheat the gas grill). Spread the coals when they are covered in a white ash.
4. Grill the chops, 3 to 4 inches from the heat source, for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature (of an instant-read thermometer) reads 110 to 120 degrees (for medium rare). Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
