Ingredients
Scale
- 8 lamb loin chops
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 Tbl Ras el Hanout
- salt
For the Charmoula
- 2 Tbl fresh mint, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 Tbl lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (use regular if you don’t have smoked)
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbl lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
For the 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.
