Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine dried basil, marjoram, thyme, and salt to create a fragrant herb rub. Generously coat each lamb chop with the mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour if time allows, otherwise proceed to broiling.
  2. Preheat your oven's broiler to high, line a baking sheet with foil, and place a wire rack on top, positioning it 4 to 6 inches from the broiler heat.
  3. Place the seasoned lamb chops onto the wire rack and broil for 5 to 8 minutes on one side until they develop a golden-brown crust, then flip and broil until desired doneness.
  4. Remove the lamb chops from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with mint jelly if desired.
