Moroccan style Lamb Chops



This is my variation from the many recipes I looked up before making this.

Ingredients:
1/2 kg Lamb chops (around 4-8 depending on size)
1 tsp Vinegar (I used cider vinegar. Think Balsamic would be better)
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
2 tsp pepper powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
3-4 tbsp Olive oil
salt to taste

Method:
1. Marinate the Lamb chops with all the ingredients listed for atleast 2 hrs.
2. Heat a frying pan
3. Add some olive oil and leave for a while to heat up
4. Place the marinated lamb chops on the hot oil and move around a little for the oil to spead
5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for pink in the middle finish (rare to medium rare). Cook longer if desired but lamb is best served pink.
6. Remove from heat and place in foil for a further 2-3 minutes

Lamb chops are now ready to serve.

I had mine with khubhus (Arabic bread), hummus and a fresh salad made with lettuce, bell pepper, big red chilli pepper and tomatoes with a simple lemon and olive oil dressing.
