Remove from refrigerator and allow the chops to come to room temperature; it will take about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Put the lamb and all the first marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hrs, and up to 4 hrs.
- Blend all the second marinade ingredients together. Remove the lamb from the first marinade and put it in a clean bowl. Add the second marinade and rub it into the lamb, then chill for a further 4 hrs, or overnight.
- Light a barbecue with a lid, then barbecue the chops on a high heat until cooked to medium (around 8 mins), making sure the meat isn't directly on the flame to avoid burning the spices. The key is to keep the lid on so the temperature is consistent. Or cook in the oven on a baking tray for 12 mins, and finish off under the grill for 2 mins to crisp them up. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over and green chutney on the side (see our recipe).

Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are a deep red color with a firm texture. Avoid chops that are pale or have any signs of bruising.
- Marinate the chops for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a variety of spices in your marinade: This will give the chops a complex flavor. Some good options include cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder.
- Grill the chops over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the chops and keep them juicy on the inside.
- Cook the chops to your desired doneness: Lamb chops can be cooked to rare, medium-rare, or medium. Rare chops will be slightly pink in the center, while medium-rare chops will be mostly pink with a slightly brown center. Medium chops will be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
- Let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help to redistribute the juices and make the chops more tender.
Conclusion:
Spice-marinated and grilled lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your lamb chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
