Achiote Marinade

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix the achiote paste, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb Chops

    Coat the lamb chops with the marinade thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Lamb Chops

    Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your achiote-marinated lamb chops!
