Ingredients

3 tbsp cooking oil
Juice of 1 lime
3 large cloves garlic minced
2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 tsp coarse salt
¾ tsp cumin
½ tsp coriander
½ tsp turmeric
⅛ tsp black pepper
4 lamb chops each about 1 1/2 inches thick

Instructions

In a large bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the oil, lime juice, garlic, ginger, salt, and all spices.
Add the lamb chops and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling to let the meat come to room temperature.
Preheat grill for 5-10 minutes. Carefully rub the grates with oil, using tongs and a paper towel dipped in oil.
Grill lamb over direct high heat, keeping the lid closed as much as possible during cooking for 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare or until desired doneness.
Transfer to a serving plate, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before serving for the juices to redistribute.

Notes

Marinate the lamb for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.

Let the meat come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.

Grill over high heat for a good sear and juicy center.

Rest the chops under foil for 10 minutes before serving.

Adjust cayenne for more or less heat to suit your taste.
