How to Make Grilled Spiced Lamb Chops

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 tsp salt. Set aside.
  2. Preheat grill to high heat, then reduce to medium heat.
  3. Season 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick) generously with salt, pressing it into the meat.
  4. Rub 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture evenly over each lamb chop.
  5. Let the seasoned lamb chops rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  6. Brush the lamb chops with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
  7. While the lamb chops are grilling, prepare the tomatoes: In a bowl, toss 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes with the remaining spice mixture.
  8. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and season with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes until heated through and slightly softened.
  9. Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately alongside the roasted tomatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
