Moorish Lamb Shoulder Chop

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb shoulder chops and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Mint Yogurt Sauce

    In a separate bowl, blend together Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, mint leaves, minced garlic, salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Lamb Chops

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated lamb shoulder chops for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Grill the Lemon

    Cut the lemon in half and place it cut-side down on the grill for about 2-3 minutes until charred.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled lamb shoulder chops with a generous dollop of mint yogurt sauce and the grilled lemon on the side.
