Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
• 1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• four 1 1/4-inch-thick loin lamb chops (about 1 pound total)

Instructions

1. Preheat the broiler. In a small bowl stir together the zest, the garlic paste, the rosemary, the oil, and pepper to taste, rub the lamb chops with the marinade, and let them marinate on a plate for 20 minutes. Broil the lamb chops on the rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.
