Our friend served these at a dinner party we attended and they were out of this world! I think you could even use the rub on another type of meat. Hope you enjoy!
Lamb Chops with Spicy Rub
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, finely ground
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, finely ground
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
8 lamb rib chops (about 1 pound, 4 ounces)
3 Tablespoons canola oil
1- In a bowl large enough to hold the chops, mix together the ginger, garlic, salt, cayenne, cumin, coriander and turmeric to form a thick, slightly dry paste.
2- Rub the chops well with this mixture and set aside to marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
3- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sear the lamp chops to the desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes on each side for rare. You may also grill these chops on an outdoor BBQ grill over high heat. Let rest briefly before serving.
