Agnello alla Griglia

Agnello alla Griglia is a traditional Italian grilled lamb dish that showcases tender, marinated lamb chops infused with aromatic herbs and spices. Perfect for a summer BBQ, this high-protein meal is both flavorful and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Lamb chops - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh rosemary - 2 sprigs, chopped
• Fresh thyme - 1 sprig, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
5. Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness (about 60°C for medium-rare).
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
