Crafting your Fancy Pomegranate Lamb Chops involves a few simple steps. Follow them closely for the best results:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine pomegranate juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
2. Marinate the Lamb: Place the lamb chops in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Get your grill hot and ready by preheating it to medium-high heat.
4. Remove from Marinade: Take the lamb chops out of the marinade and let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
5. Grill the Lamb: Place the chops on the grill, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time if you prefer your lamb more well done.
6. Rest the Meat: Once cooked to your liking, remove the lamb chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Garnish and Serve: Arrange the lamb chops on a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley for that stunning touch.
