Number Of Ingredients 33

CHARMOULA:
8 lamb loin chops
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 tablespoons Ras el Hanout
Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh mint, roughly chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons lemon zest
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (use regular if you don't have smoked)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
RAS EL HANOUT:
4 whole nutmegs
10 rosebuds, dried
12 Ceylon cinnamon sticks
12 pieces mace, blades only
1 teaspoon anise seed
2 dried chipotle peppers
1/2 teaspoon dried lavender
1 tablespoon white peppercorns
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon coriander
2 pieces galangal
2 tablespoons whole gingerroot
8 pieces turmeric
6 cloves
24 allspice berries
20 green cardamom pods
4 black cardamom pods
2 teaspoons saffron threads

Steps:

  • Make the Ras el Hanout. Rub the lamb with olive oil and generously coat with Ras el Hanout and salt. (If not using the ras el hanout, season generously with salt, pepper, and a little cumin.) Preheat your grill, then grill about 2 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the meat rest a few minutes before serving. CHARMOULA: Combine all of the Charmoula ingredients in a food processor or magic bullet and pulse until a pesto-like consistency. Don't overblend - it shouldn't be completely liquified. Serve the lamb chops with a generous helping of Charmoula and some fresh lemon zest. Perfect with grilled asparagus and cauliflower puree on the side. RAS EL HANOUT: Heat a small skillet over moderate heat. When hot, add white peppercorns, aniseed, cumin seed, coriander, cloves, and allspice berries. Stir constantly until fragrant and oils are released (only a few minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool in a separate bowl. Husk the cardamom pods, reserving the fragrant seeds. I love the flavor of cardamom, so I use more than what Paula Wolfert recommends above. Remove seeds and veins from dried chipotles and break apart. Break up nutmeg in a mortar and pestle. Once peppercorns, aniseed, cumin seed, coriander, cloves, and allspice berries have cooled, combine with remaining ingredients in a spice grinder and grind all together until fine. A coffee grinder works well, but then you will not want to grind coffee in it anymore. Even Alton Brown believes in having a separate grinder dedicated to the grinding of spices. Sift through a strainer to remove fibers from galangale, turmeric, ginger and any pieces that just do not grind. Store in a glass jar under refrigeration.

Don't waste your time with this recipe. The lamb chops were tough, the Ras El Hanout seasoning was flavorless, and the chermoula sauce was nothing special. I would not make this recipe again.

This recipe was a disaster. The lamb chops were burnt, the Ras El Hanout seasoning was inedible, and the chermoula sauce was watery and bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This was a terrible recipe. The lamb chops were tough and gamey, and the Ras El Hanout seasoning was overpowering. The chermoula sauce was the only saving grace, but it couldn't make up for the rest of the dish. I would never make this recipe again.

Not a fan of this recipe. The lamb chops were dry and overcooked, and the Ras El Hanout seasoning was too spicy for my taste. The chermoula sauce was good, but it couldn't make up for the rest of the dish. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The lamb chops were a bit tough, and the Ras El Hanout seasoning was not to my liking. The chermoula sauce was good, but it didn't save the dish for me. I wouldn't make this recipe again.
