Marinated Lemon Lamb cutlets or chops are a great option for a quick and easy dinner that’s bursting with flavor. The tangy marinade is a tasty twist on traditional grilled lamb chops, and it’s easy to adjust the recipe to feed more or fewer people. Lamb chops are also a great source of protein and essential nutrients, making this recipe both delicious and nutritious.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped rosemary.
2.	Add the lamb chops to the mixing bowl and coat each chop evenly with the marinade.
3.	Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4.	Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
5.	Take the lamb chops out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
6.	Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

PROS

The combination of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and rosemary provides a tangy and herbaceous flavor to the tender lamb chops.

Grilling the lamb chops gives them a charred and caramelized flavor that complements the marinade perfectly.

CONS

If overcooked, lamb chops can become tough and chewy.
Make sure to watch them closely while grilling to avoid overcooking.

Marinating the lamb chops for too long can also cause the meat to become mushy and lose its texture.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Lamb is a rich source of protein and essential nutrients such as vitamin B12 and iron.
The marinade contains antioxidants from the rosemary and vitamin C from the lemon juice, which can both help boost the immune system.
