Moroccan Grilled Lamb Chops With Garlic Mint And Spices Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Grilled meats are quite popular in morocco, and you'll often see grills set up outside neighborhood butcher shops so customers can have small purchases of meat or offal cooked to order for a quick meal. Salt and cumin are usually offered on the side for meats cooked with little or no seasoningthis includes lamb chops. An easy moroccan marinade of garlic, lemon juice, mint, and moroccan spices adds tangy, zesty flavor, helping to transform the chops into a memorable family or company meal. Select rib or loin lamb chops. Allow the meat to marinate at least several hours (overnight is better) for tender, flavorful results. If weather or time doesn't allow for grilling, you can broil or pan-sear the meat instead. Moroccan grilled meats are often served with moroccan mint tea. Consider adding the following side dishes for a complete meal: green bean and new potato saute and zaalouk-cooked salad of eggplant and tomato.
