Lamb Chops Scottadito

Lamb Chops Scottadito

In Italian the word scottadito means burned fingers. This dish is named scottadito because the lamb chops are so delicious that you can’t resist eating them sizzling hot, straight from the grill and burning your fingers.

Serves 4

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
12 rib lamb chops

  1. In a small bowl stir together the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turn the cops to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

  2. Start a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill. Place the chops on the rack over high heat and grill turning once, 5 minutes per side for medium rare. The outside will be well seared with the insides still pink.

  3. Transfer to a warm platter and serve immediately.

    These lamb chops look like they’re worth a burned finger or two! Very simple flavours, but that’s exactly how it ought to be to let the lamb shine. Must try these before grilling season is over.

    Great recipe – I quite like the etymology of scottadito! Certainly, I would burn myself trying to get ahold of one of these.
