Notes
Can I make chermoula ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the chermoula sauce in advance and store it in the fridge. Just give it a little stir before serving to refresh the flavors.
What variations can I use for the marinade? Today I have a simple mix of olive oil, garlic, and oregano. You can also try rosemary or adding a splash of lemon juice. Don’t hesitate to experiment and find what you love!
How do I know when the lamb chops are done? For perfect lamb chops, aim for medium-rare. You’ll want an internal temperature of around 145°F (63°C). A meat thermometer is your best friend here! If you prefer them more well-done, just adjust the cooking time slightly.
Can I cook these on a grill instead of broiling? Definitely! Grilling will add a lovely smoky flavor. Just preheat the grill and cook the chops over medium-high heat for a delicious char.
Can I use frozen lamb chops? You can, but it’s best to thaw them completely before marinating and cooking. This ensures even cooking and better flavor absorption.
What’s the best way to store leftovers? If you have any leftovers (which I doubt because they’re so tasty!), store the lamb chops and chermoula sauce in separate airtight containers in the fridge. They’ll keep for about 3 days, and you can reheat gently before serving!
