Ingredients

• Lamb chops - 4 pieces (about 400g)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground ginger - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh mint - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, black pepper, chopped mint, and lemon juice 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 overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
5. Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
6. Serve hot, garnished with extra mint and lemon wedges if desired.
