Ingredients

• 2 pounds Lamb shoulder or lamb chops
• 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 units Large onions, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons White vinegar
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth or water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 unit French baguette or rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, ground ginger, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix to form a paste.

Step 2

Rub the spice paste evenly all over the lamb pieces. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Grill the lamb for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Remove from the grill and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they become soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Dijon mustard, white vinegar, and chicken broth or water. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Serve the grilled lamb on a plate or platter. Spoon the onion mustard sauce generously over the top.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with slices of baguette or steamed rice on the side.
