Preparing the Marinade:
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, black pepper, and vinegar. Add fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for an aromatic touch. -
Marinating the Lamb Chops:
Coat the lamb chops thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse the meat. -
Grilling the Lamb Chops:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is achieved. The outside should be crisp and golden, while the inside remains tender and juicy. -
Serving:
Serve the grilled lamb chops with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Key Flavors: The combination of cumin, paprika, and garlic enhances the savory depth of the lamb, while the lemon juice and vinegar add a tangy contrast.
