Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ground cumin, ground coriander, minced garlic, dried oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper.

Place the lamb chops on a cutting board. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, lightly bash the meatiest part of each chop to flatten it slightly; this ensures even cooking and better marinade absorption.

Add the lamb chops to the bowl with the marinade and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.

Remove the lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. In a small bowl, stir together the rose harissa and honey to create the glaze.

Preheat a grill, griddle pan, or barbecue to high heat. Cook the chops for 5–7 minutes per side. During the final 2 minutes of cooking, brush the honey-harissa mixture generously over both sides of the chops until the fat is sizzling and the edges are beautifully caramelized.
