kcalIngredients
- For the Lamb Chops:
8 lamb chops 🍖
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Mint Yogurt Sauce:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped 🌿
Juice of 1/2 lemon 🍋
1 clove garlic, minced 🧄
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Marinate the Lamb Chops: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Rub the marinade all over the lamb chops, making sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the Mint Yogurt Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well and set aside in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to blend.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Lamb Chops: Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more done.
- Serve: Once cooked, let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes. Serve them hot with the mint yogurt sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy with couscous, rice, or a fresh salad!
Notes
- You can use bone-in or boneless lamb chops depending on your preference.
- For an even more intense flavor, marinate the lamb overnight in the fridge.
- The mint yogurt sauce also pairs well with grilled vegetables or chicken.
