Lamb Chops Scottadito
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 12 rib lamb chops
Instructions
- In a small bowl stir together the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turn the cops to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Start a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill. Place the chops on the rack over high heat and grill turning once, 5 minutes per side for medium rare. The outside will be well seared with the insides still pink.
- Plate immediately with salad, drizzle with olive oil.
In Italian the word “Scottadito” means burned fingers. This dish is named “scottadito” because the lamb chops are so delicious that you can’t resist eating them sizzling hot, straight from the grill and burning your fingers!
You can also make a fresh, simple salad to accompany your lamb chops, or to enjoy as an appetizer while you wait for the scottadito to cool.
