Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish (optional)
- 1 Tbs. ground coriander
- 2 tsp. finely minced garlic
- 1 tsp. sweet paprika
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

In a small bowl, stir together the 1/2 cup mint, the coriander, garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, lemon juice and olive oil. Rub the mixture into the chops, coating evenly, and place in a nonaluminum container.

These lamb chops were a huge hit last night and were easy to prepare. I used a food processor to chop the garlic and mint leaves which was a big time saver. Although the marinade seemed too hot with 1/4 tsp. cayenne, the meat off the grill was nicely balanced with an appealing appearance.
