Herb Grilled Rib Lamb Chops

FloridaNative's Note:

After a quick marinade, these chops are grilled quickly to sear in the juices for a medium-rare presentation. From AustralianLamb.com and EatingWell.com and posted for ZWT5.

This is a great marinade for lamb. The flavor is excellent. Made for I Recommend Tag.

I cooked up 12 lamb loin chops on an indoor grill (started out as a meal for 4 but turned into 3 - DH got called out to work) but the 3 of us devoured these delectable chops (I think the herbed mustard mix could work with just about any meat on the grill or for that matter, finely chop your herbs and mix in with the rest and could be great on a meat sandwich or just spread on a cooked/grilled piece of meat). i used a merlot wine and they marinated for about 2 hours) I cooked this on a indoor grill on the gas stove and it took about 5 minutes per side to get to our likeness (some well done and others medium rare) - depending on which burner (the grill fits over 2 burners and of different sizes so you have to shuffle things a bit).
