Yield Makes 16 servings as part of buffet

Number Of Ingredients 19

Mint-mango sauce
2 1-pound ripe mangoes, peeled, seeded
2 cups fresh mint leaves
4 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 serrano chiles, halved, seeded
Lamb chops
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
16 1-inch-thick lamb loin chops
Fresh mint sprigs

Steps:

  • For mint-mango sauce:
  • Blend all ingredients in processor until smooth. Transfer to small bowl. Season with salt. Cover and chill. (Can be made 1 day ahead.)
  • For lamb chops:
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Whisk first 8 ingredients in small bowl. Mix oil and garlic in another bowl. Brush chops on both sides with oil mixture, then press chops into spice mixture to coat both sides. Grill chops to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to platter. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve warm or at room temperature with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of fat. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
  • Marinate the lamb chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of spices, herbs, and olive oil will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Grill the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness: Lamb chops are best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking will make them tough.
  • Serve the lamb chops with a refreshing sauce: A cucumber-mint sauce or a tzatziki sauce are both great options.

Conclusion:

Grilled spiced lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your lamb chops are cooked to perfection and full of flavor. So fire up the grill and enjoy!
