Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over 4 lamb chops and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until nicely charred and internal temperature reaches 135°F.
  3. Step 3: While lamb cooks, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and refrigerate until serving.
  4. Step 4: Remove lamb chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve topped or alongside the herb yogurt sauce.
