Instructions
- 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 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- 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 To make the mint sauce: Combine marmalade, mint, vinegar, and pepper flakes together in a bowl.
- 5 Brush sauce over grilled chops. Enjoy!
