Coriander Two Ways Grilled Lamb Chops


  • Adapted from Canadian Living: 150 Essential Beef, Pork and Lamb Recipes  
  • Printable Recipe
  • Prep & marinade time: 30 minutes (can marinate for 30 minutes - 8 hours)
  • Grill time: 10 minutes
  • Serves  

  • Ingredients: 
  • 6-8 lamb rib chops (The actual recipe calls for 2 racks of lamb, but I like to cut them into chops before marinating and then grill as chops)
  • Marinade:
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped or crushed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled & grated
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • salt & pepper
  • Directions:
  • 1. Make  marinade:   With the motor  of your food processor running, drop the garlic and chunk of ginger through the feeding tube.  Add everything except the oil and pulse until well blended (30 -60 seconds).  Pour the oil down feeding tube with the motor running.  Taste for seasoning.   The results: a thick paste. 

  • 2. Place chops in a zip lock bag and add the paste.  Rub into chops and set aside for 30 minutes or so on the counter. 

  • 3. Prepare the grill or broiler to the highest setting.  Broil chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and crisp.   Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes or so before serving.
