Ingredients

Gremolata:

  • 1 cup parsley leaves loosely packed
  • Grated zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed

Lamb Chops:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp gremolata
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 rack of lamb cut into 8 individual chops
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Gremolata: On a cutting board, mince the parsley leaves finely. Add the lemon zest and garlic cloves and mince the whole mixture together a few times. Transfer to a bowl.

  2. Lamb Chops: In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the gremolata, salt, and pepper. Add the chops and toss in the bag to coat well with the marinade.

  4. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chops in a single layer and cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare.
  5. Serve chops topped with additional gremolata.
