Grilled lamb chops marinated in a fragrant blend of Lebanese spices, offering a delightful balance of flavors and a juicy texture. Perfectly paired with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, this dish is a high-protein option for a satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

• Lamb chops - 4 pieces (about 300g)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
5. Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
6. Once cooked, remove the chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
