Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and set them aside on a plate.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Drizzle the lamb chops with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of each chop. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

Step 6

While the lamb chops are cooking, whisk together the lemon juice and honey in a small bowl.

Step 7

Drizzle the lemon-honey mixture over the cooked lamb chops during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Step 8

Remove the lamb chops from the skillet or grill pan and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
