Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp ground fennel seeds, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Stir in 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp lemon juice to form a paste.
  2. Step 2: Rub the spice mixture evenly over 8 lamb loin chops, coating both sides. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Grill the lamb chops for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until an internal temperature of 135°F is reached for medium-rare and the exterior is nicely charred.
  5. Step 5: Transfer chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
