Recipe Ingredients

For the lamb chops

  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) cumin
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) paprika
  • 1 tsp (5ml) smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp (10ml) cinnamon
  • Juice of ½ SPAR Freshline lemon

  • 8 lamb chops

For the green beans

Recipe Method

  1. Make a paste with the spices, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic and coat the chops with the paste. Season well.
  2. String the chops onto a skewer with all the fat facing in the same direction and on the same level.
  3. Start by rendering the fat – pop the chops onto the warm pan fat side down and cook for 6 minutes or so until the fat is brown. Then remove from the skewer and cook the chops for 3 - 4 minutes per side.
  4. Toss the green beans in olive oil and grill on the warm griddle pan for about 6 minutes – turn them halfway. Season well, add spring onions and serve with the chops.
