Lime-Cumin Lamb Chops

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

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

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.
