Lime-Cumin Lamb Chops

User Rating 5 Star Rating (1 Review) Write a review

A simple recipe for the grill or broiler. Loin chops are lower in fat than other cuts of lamb. Since lamb is such a rich meat, the chops really don't need to be very big.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Total Time: 17 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 4 lamb loin chops, visible fat trimmed

Preparation:

Preheat grill or broiler.

Blend oil, lime juice and cumin. Brush both sides of each lamb chop with lime and cumin mixture.

Place lamb chops on a broiler rack coated with nonstick cooking spray. If grilling, the rack should be sprayed before preheating. Grill or broil (3-4 inches from heat) for 5-6 minutes each side.

Serves 4

What a great little recipe to stumble upon! Perfect for two, this recipe is great for a lamb beginner. I broiled mine, since it's still a little too chilly for the grill. After 6 minutes on each side, I let my lamb sit for 10 minutes before serving. I like the no-fuss flavor--the meat was juicy and hearty without being overpowered by some sort of mint sauce/jelly/pesto. I'll make this again, for sure!
