- 1/2 cup 100% pomegranate juice
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Marinate the Lamb Chops: In a bowl, whisk together pomegranate juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour marinade over them, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

- 3. Remove Excess Marinade: Take lamb chops out of the marinade and let excess drip off.
- 4. Sear the Lamb Chops: Grill or broil for about 4-5 minutes per side until they develop a crust and reach medium-rare doneness.
- 5. Baste with Remaining Marinade: In the last minute of cooking, brush leftover marinade onto the lamb chops.
- 6. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh rosemary if desired.
