Grilled California Lamb and Vegetables

Brush chops and vegetables lightly with olive oil and season with salt and ground pepper. Cook lamb chops and vegetables in a covered grill over medium-hot coals or in a gas barbecue with a cover. Depending on thickness, grill chops for 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once or twice. For best flavor and texture, don’t cook lamb beyond medium-rare (130°F to 135°F / 55°C at the thickest part when removed from grill) to medium (135°F to 140°F / 60°C when removed from grill.) Grill vegetables until they begin to take on color and are cooked through.
