How to make Lamb Chops with Rosemary Sauce
Prepare the lamb chops

Grill the lamb chops or bake them in the oven. If baking, place the chops on a baking tray with a bit of olive oil. Cook in a medium oven (about 180°C/350°F) for approximately 30 minutes, turning the meat halfway through to ensure even browning.
Prepare the rosemary sauce
- Step 1
In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil along with the rosemary over low heat until warm.
- Step 2
Add the finely chopped parsley and the strained juice of half a lemon. Mix well and remove from heat as soon as the mixture is warm.
Finish the dish
- Step 1
Once the lamb chops are roasted, remove them from the oven or grill. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Place the chops on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle the rosemary sauce over the lamb chops.
