By kristabelle

Ingredients

• 2 -- 2 garlic cloves
• 1 1/2 -- 1 1/2 tsp thyme leaves
• 1/2 -- 1/2 tsp hot red pepper flakes
• 1 -- 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 2 -- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 -- 8 (1-inch thick) lamb loin chops

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat.

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/4 tsp salt, then whisk together with thyme, red pepper flakes, vinegar, oil, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Coat chops with marinade.

Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered, turning occasionally, until grill marks appear and meat is cooked to desired doneness, about 6 minutes total for medium rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes.
