Grilled Lamb Ribs (Agnello a Scottadito)

Ingredients

• 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
• fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 8-12 lamb rib chops, trimmed of fat
• salt, to taste
• lemon slice (to garnish) (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, and pepper. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and brush the mixture over them. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or as long as overnight.

2. 2

   Prepare a fire in a grill or preheat a broiler. Brush the grill rack or the rack of a broiler pan with olive oil. Place the chops on the rack and grill or broil, turning as needed, until browned and crisp on the outside, yet still pink and juicy inside, about 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Transfer to warmed individual plates, season with salt, and serve immediately with lemon slices.
