Ingredients
Instructions
Combine the basil, marjoram, thyme and salt. Rub the seasoning over the lamb chops. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Editor’s Tip: You can skip the chilling step if you’re running short on time. However, this short marinade allows the salt to pull moisture away from the surface of the chops, so they'll get a better sear.
Preheat the broiler. Position the lamb chops 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Broil until the meat reaches the desired doneness, five to eight minutes on each side. A thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat should read 135°F for medium-rare, 140° for medium or 145° for medium-well. Serve with mint jelly if desired.
