Steps:
- Place lamb chops in a large bowl. Season with olive oil, garlic, cumin, mixed herbs, pepper, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Toss until well coated with oil and seasonings. Cover and refrigerate. Allow to marinate at least 4 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place lamb chops on grill. Sprinkle the chops with a bit of salt. Grill until seared on the first side, 4 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the chops. Rotate chops a half turn on the grill about a minute before turning them. Turn and grill the other side to desired doneness, another 4 to 7 minutes. For medium rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should bead 125 to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer to a serving dish and tent loosely with foil.
- Place marmalade in bowl. Add chili flakes, mint, and rice vinegar. Stir together thoroughly.
- Brush the sauce over the chops and serve.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROASTED GARLIC HORSERADISH SAUCE
Steps:
- To make pepper mixture combine black and white peppers, cayenne, and marjoram. Cover tightly and store in a cool place. Use to season red meats and game before cooking.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add garlic cloves and saute for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Place in preheated 350 degree oven and roast for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven. Remove garlic from pan and cool. Set aside until ready to use.
- Place remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add mushrooms and saute for 1 minute. Add shallots, lamb bones, and pepper and saute for 1 minute. Add thyme, chicken stock, and demi-glace and bring to a boil. Skim off scum. Lower heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until sauce is reduced by one-third. Remove lamb bones and strain into a small saucepan. Add roasted garlic and grated horseradish. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Let sauce sit for 5 minutes to capture as much flavor from the garlic and horseradish as possible. Season with salt and lemon juice. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill. Make sure grates are clean and lightly rub or brush with oil. Brush chops with 3 tablespoons peanut oil and season to taste with salt and pepper mixture. Grill chops about 2 minutes or just long enough to mark one side. Turn chops and cook for about 2 minutes longer for medium-rare. Increase cooking time slightly for medium doneness. Remove chops from grill.
- Spoon Roasted Garlic Horseradish Sauce over the bottom of 4 warm dinner plates. Place 4 grilled lamb chops along the top of each plate, bones to the center. Garnish plates with sprigs of marjoram. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together mint, sugar, and vinegar with 1 cup water until well combined. Set mint sauce aside until sugar dissolves, about 30 minutes.
- Brush lamb with olive oil. Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper and place in skillet; cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a large serving platter; drizzle with mint sauce. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality lamb chops that are at least 1 inch thick. Look for chops that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep them moist during grilling.
- To ensure even cooking, bring the lamb chops to room temperature before grilling. This will help them cook evenly throughout.
- Season the lamb chops generously with salt and pepper before grilling. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
- Grill the lamb chops over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. Lamb chops are best served medium-rare or medium, as overcooking will make them tough.
- Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the lamb chops with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Grilled lamb chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. Whether you are grilling them for a special dinner or a casual weeknight meal, these tips will help you cook perfect lamb chops every time. The horseradish mint sauce is a perfect complement to the lamb chops, adding a bright and tangy flavor that balances out the richness of the meat.
