How to Make Spicy Moroccan Lamb Chops

  1. Coat lamb chops generously with 2 tablespoons of harissa paste. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better for deeper flavor).
  2. Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. Place lamb chops on a preheated grill pan or directly on the broiler rack.
  3. Grill for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preferred level of doneness.
  4. Remove from grill and let rest for 1 minute before serving.
  5. Sprinkle generously with chopped fresh cilantro before serving (optional).
