Lamb Chops with Garlic and Olive Oil

Tender rib chops take only a few minutes per side to cook but are elegant enough to serve to company. Coat them with just the garlic and oil, or try one of our herb variations.

Notes:

Variations: Add four teaspoons of chopped fresh rosemary to the garlic and oil mixture. Add three tablespoons of chopped fresh sage and an additional tablespoon olive oil to the garlic and oil mixture. Use lamb loin chops instead of rib chops. Test-Kitchen Tips: When grilling quick-cooking items such as chops, turn them only once. If you leave the meat alone for a few minutes, it will have a chance to form a nice brown crust. If you move it too soon, the meat will stick, and you'll pull off the incipient crust. Once that brown edge forms, the meat is easy to move. When you do turn the meat, use tongs or a spatula. Never poke a fork into the meat or the precious juices will escape.
