Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, salt, black pepper, honey, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Place the lamb chops in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the meat marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator (or overnight for best flavor).

Step 3

When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 4

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 5

Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 6

Garnish the lamb chops with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 7

Enjoy your Grilled Lamb Chops Desert Style with a side of couscous or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
