Ingredients
- For the Lemon-Garlic Hollandaise:

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Grilled Lamb Chops:
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Making the Lemon-Garlic Hollandaise
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Place the bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Gradually add the melted butter in a slow, steady stream, whisking continuously. Add minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Grilling the Lamb Chops
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub the lamb chops with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Plate the grilled lamb chops and generously spoon the warm Lemon-Garlic Hollandaise over the top. Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. The bright citrus flavor complements the richness of the lamb beautifully, creating a balanced and elegant dish.
Tips and Variations
- Use fresh garlic and rosemary for the best flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil or margarine.
- Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Hollandaise for a spicy kick.
