Steps:
- Put the lamb and all the first marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hrs, and up to 4 hrs.
- Blend all the second marinade ingredients together. Remove the lamb from the first marinade and put it in a clean bowl. Add the second marinade and rub it into the lamb, then chill for a further 4 hrs, or overnight.
- Light a barbecue with a lid, then barbecue the chops on a high heat until cooked to medium (around 8 mins), making sure the meat isn't directly on the flame to avoid burning the spices. The key is to keep the lid on so the temperature is consistent. Or cook in the oven on a baking tray for 12 mins, and finish off under the grill for 2 mins to crisp them up. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over and green chutney on the side (see our recipe).

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH INDIAN SPICE RUB
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place chiles, cloves, peppercorns, mustard and coriander seeds in a spice grinder. Grind until spices are a fine powder. Pour into a bowl and add remaining spices.
- Place pork chops onto a baking sheet. Take rub and apply all over the front and back of the meat. Let stand at room temperature for up to 20 minutes. If you are making ahead of time, coat with spices, cover with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator. Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature before placing onto the grill.
- To prepare for charcoal grilling, remove the cooking grate and light the charcoal in a charcoal chimney (look for a red, ashen color to the briquettes). You will need enough charcoal to cover half the coal grate, about 2 layers thick. Place cooking grate over hot coals and open vent. Oil grate and place chops onto grill directly over the coals. Grill for 2 minutes per side. Move to the indirect cooking space (where there are no coals) and continue cooking for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature is between 160 and 165 F.
- Remove from grill and cover with foil. Allow chops to rest for 5 minutes. If using a gas unit, set temperature for medium-high heat and cook 8 to 9 minutes per side or until internal temperature is right. After the meat has had a chance to rest, serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
- Enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Cut away excess fat from the lamb chops (some fat does add flavor). Coat each chop lightly in olive oil. Dust lamb chops with garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place lamb chops in a cast iron skillet.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium-well doneness.
- Remove from the oven and cover tightly with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with mint jelly on the side,

MOM'S INDIAN PORK CHOPS & RICE
I don't even like pork chops and I LOVE these! This is Mom's recipe, the only way I'll eat pork chops. Mom used bone-in pork chops, but it's easier to serve if you use boneless. See my sister puppitypup's variation, Recipe #182540.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9" X 9" casserole pan. Start rice cooking.
- Rub pork chops with dry mustard and cloves, brown on both sides in skillet with 1 tsp olive oil. Arrange pork chops in pan. Place one onion slice and then one tomato slice on top of each pork chop.
- Drain mushrooms (retain liquid), set mushrooms aside. Mix soup, mushroom liquid and water. Add to rice and mix well. Cover entire dish with rice mixture, being careful not to dislodge the onions and tomatoes from the chops, and filling in between chops so that there are no gaps. Spoon sliced mushrooms over top of rice mixture.
- Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes.
- Serve with a spatula to preserve your nice chop/tomato/onion stack.
Tips:
- To ensure the juiciness of the chops, marinate them for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Use a flavorful marinade that complements the taste of the pork or lamb. Some popular options include yogurt-based marinades, olive oil-based marinades, or spice-based marinades.
- Sear the chops over high heat to create a nice crust and lock in the juices. Then, reduce the heat and cook the chops until they reach your desired doneness.
- If you are using a grill, make sure to preheat the grill to a medium-high heat and grease the grates to prevent sticking.
- Serve the chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
