Moroccan Lamb Chops

These Moroccan Lamb Chops are marinated in aromatic spices and grilled to perfection, offering a burst of flavor in every bite. This low-carb dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.

Ingredients

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

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Rub the marinade generously over the lamb chops, making sure to coat all sides. Let the chops marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Once hot, add the marinated lamb chops to the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is reached.
5. Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
