Remove leaves from a few sprigs of fresh rosemary and mint, discarding the stems, and chop them finely.

Chop 4 to 5 cloves of garlic finely.

In a bowl, combine the chopped herbs and garlic with sea salt and pepper to taste, and add 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Whisk together well.

Add the herb garlic marinade to a shallow bowl filled with 2 pounds of lamb chops.

Use your hands to cover the lamb chops in the marinade, flipping and turning them to massage the marinade into every side.

Cover the bowl with a plate or cling film and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours.

Remove the lamb chops from the fridge about 20 to 30 minutes before grilling to allow them to reach room temperature.

Preheat the grill to 450°F.

Grill the lamb chops for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.

Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 140°F for perfect lamb chops.

Remove the lamb chops from the grill and place them on a plate to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
