- In a zip-lock storage bag, combine the thick pomegranate juice, minced garlic, finely chopped shallot, and olive oil. Add the seasoned lamb chops, sealing the bag and turning it over several times to coat the meat thoroughly.
- Cover the bag and refrigerate the marinated lamb for at least four hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Preheat your grill to a high heat, ensuring it is hot enough to achieve those perfect grill marks.
- Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Grill the lamb chops for approximately four minutes on each side for a rare finish, or extend the cooking time to five to six minutes per side for medium-rare.
Enjoy these flavorful grilled lamb chops with your favorite sides, and relish the delicious blend of tangy sweetness and herbaceous notes that will make your meal unforgettable!
