INGREDIENTS

GREMOLATA

1 cup parsley leaves, loosely packed

Grated zest of 2 lemons

2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed

LAMB CHOPS

2 tbsp olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tbsp gremolata

Salt and pepper

1 rack of American Lamb cut into individual chops (8 rib chops)

2 tbsp avocado oil

DIRECTIONS

 GREMOLATA

On a cutting board, mince the parsley leaves finely. Add the lemon zest and garlic cloves and mince the whole mixture together a few times. Transfer to a bowl.

LAMB CHOPS

In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the gremolata, salt, and pepper. Add the chops and toss in the bag to coat well with the marinade.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Remove and let come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chops in a single layer and cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare.

Serve chops topped with additional gremolata.
