Somewhere I had seen a statistic that the 'average' American eats 1# of lamb per year. In my house that is accomplished about every other week, so we are clearly 'above average' here Clearly we are lamb lovers here!
Anyway, when we cook lamb, especially chops on the BBQ grill, we tend to marinate them and I'm looking for some new recipes for marinade, or perhaps even a dry rub?
When dinner time comes around, toss them on a hot BBQ grill and cook to medium rare
Anyone else prepare them any particular way?

In our case, we simply take a deep pan, pour in just enough olive oil to cover the bottom, add some freshly snipped and crushed rosemary leaves (maybe a teaspoon), add a large amount of crushed garlic --we love garlic so about a heaping tablespoon of fresh crushed garlic, and stir in some nice balsamic vinegar too. Then add a liberal amount of coarse salt. Mix it together and set the lambchops in the dish, making sure to flip them over and cover all the meat with some of the marinade. Cover the dish and set in the refrigerator for a couple hours or even prepare in the morning and leave them all day, flip them over a few times so they stay evenly coated.
