Remember how I was saying my youngest daughter<\/a> loves all kinds of skewered meats? Turns out she likes anything she can hold on to and eat – like lamb chops, or in her words, lollipop meat \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Last month it was her birthday, so I decided to make this for her. Who needs cupcakes when you can eat lamb, right? She was thrilled, definitely my kinda kid.<\/p>\n

I remember back when my husband and I lived in New Jersey, we’d go to this restaurant that sold the best lamb chops – tender, juicy, and spicy they were definitely worth the hour-long drive!<\/p>\n

My dad loves to make lamb chops as well. In fact, I remember during Ramadan we’d have these as a post taraweeh meal that he’d serve with his famous garlicky hummus.\u00a0<\/a>It was the perfect treat to come home to and hang out with the family.<\/p>\n

Try to cook these chops on a cast iron skillet or grill pan for best results. You may think lamb can’t be cooked to tender perfection in such a short time, but when you cook meat on very high heat, sear the sides, and rest it for a few minutes afterwards it makes for a tender, juicy lamb chop or steak.<\/p>\n

Please read these tips <\/a>before you make this dish.<\/p>\n

Here’s the recipe :<\/p>\n

1. You’ll need about 2 lbs of lamb chops with the fat trimmed. Make a marinade using 1\/4 cup olive oil, juice of half a lemon, 3 cloves of garlic chopped, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp salt, 1\/4 tsp chilli powder and 1\/2 tsp black pepper. Mix into the lamb and keep for at least 30 minutes or up to a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

2. Heat a cast iron skillet on high, pour in 3 tbsp of oil.<\/p>\n

3. Place the chops on the skillet, do not crowd the pan.<\/p>\n
