Preparation of Lemon-Herb Hollandaise
Start by whisking the egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn’t touch the water. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens. Gradually add the melted butter, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.
Preparation of Grilled Lamb Chops
Rub the lamb chops with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chops for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Plate the grilled lamb chops and drizzle with the warm Lemon-Herb Hollandaise. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
