These Keto grilled lamb chops are hearty, warm, and absolutely delicious. No one would guess that this whole recipe took you 20 minutes to whip up from start to finish. This meal is one of the best Keto new year's day recipes because it allows you to prepare something fancy and festive without the extra effort.

Why is this recipe perfect for new year's day?

Whether you partied hard the night before or are enjoying the work-free holiday, these grilled lamb chops are your friend because they won't waste your time in the kitchen. They look and taste like a gourmet meal from a 3 Michelin star restaurant. This dinner is one of the easiest Keto new year's recipes to cook for your family and friends.

How are these lamb chops seasoned?

We have seasoned these lamb chops with sumac and olive oil. Sumac is an exotic spice made from the dried berries of the wild sumac flower. It has a citrusy tartness to it and is naturally salty. It is also known for its deep purply red color and is often used as a garnish to make dishes pop. If you don't have access to sumac, then you can use lemon juice and zest instead.

How many servings does this recipe yield?

If you are only making this recipe without any sides or appetizers, then this recipe is enough for 2-3 people only. However, it will serve 6 people if your table is filled with various sides, appetizers, and other main courses. Feel free to double/triple the recipe; making a larger quantity is just as quick and easy.

What can you serve this Keto meal with?

This grilled meat and salsa dish is a nutritious, satiating, and balanced meal on its own. But you can serve it with a simple low-carb side dish like mashed cauliflower or steamed vegetables.
