MARINADE:
1/3 cup Oil, olive

6 clove Garlic, raw -- chopped
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper, black, ground -- freshly ground
Preparation:

2. In a small bowl, mix all marinade ingredients together into a paste and rub it all over the chops.
3. Place chops in a shallow bowl and cover with any remaining marinade. Marinate for about 2 hours at room temperature.
4. After marinating, grill over medium-hot coals for 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The chops should register 120 to 135 degrees F at the thickest part for rare to medium-rare.
5. Set the lamb aside for about 5 minutes before serving.
