Instructions

  1. 1 Place lamb chops in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add olive oil, garlic, cumin, mixed herbs, black pepper, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt; toss until lamb evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
  2. 2 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  3. 3 Place lamb chops on grill; sprinkle with a bit of salt. Grill on the first side until seared, 4 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the chops, rotating chops a half turn on the grill about 1 minute before flipping. Flip chops and grill other side until desired doneness, 4 to 7 minutes more. For medium rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read 125 to 130 degrees F (52 to 54 degrees C). Transfer to a serving dish and tent loosely with foil.
  4. 4 To make the mint sauce: Combine marmalade, mint, vinegar, and pepper flakes together in a bowl.
  5. 5 Brush sauce over grilled chops. Enjoy!

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir until every grain is coated in oil and you hear it start to sizzle. Stir in 2 teaspoons large-grain kosher salt, pepper, cayenne, and green onions and cook for about 1 minute.
  3. 3 Add dill, mint, spinach, and 2 3/4 cups water. Mix until thoroughly combined and bring to a simmer.
  4. 4 Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until rice is tender, about 25 minutes. If rice is not quite ready at 25 minutes, add a splash of water, cover, and continue to cook until it is ready.
  5. 5 Uncover and stir well. Cover again and let sit for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
  6. 6 Divide rice mixture evenly into six bowls. Squeeze ½ lemon over each serving, then top with feta cheese, pickled onions, chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil.
