Steps:
- Combine yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup yogurt mixture to a small bowl and set aside for serving. Stir cumin, coriander, turmeric, and allspice into remaining yogurt mixture.
- Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Using your hands, evenly coat all sides of chops with spiced yogurt mixture (avoiding the bone if they are frenched). Let chops sit at room temperature 30 minutes, or cover and chill up to 12 hours.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Wipe off excess marinade from lamb chops and cook half until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side (the yogurt in the marinade will help them take on color quickly). Remove chops from skillet and pour off fat (no need to wipe it out). Repeat with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining chops.
- Serve lamb chops with reserved yogurt mixture alongside.

Steps:
- Place the garlic, rosemary, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the herbs are finely minced. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine and combine. Place the chops in a glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the chops, turning to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
- When ready to cook, prepare a grill with one layer of hot coals or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot with the cold Yogurt Mint Sauce.
- Place the scallions, mint, dill, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until it's a coarse paste. Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Steps:
- Combine first 5 ingredients in small skillet. Stir over medium heat until spices are aromatic and slightly darker in color, about 3 minutes. Transfer spices to bowl and cool. Grind spices to coarse powder in spice mill. Combine spices, yogurt, and ginger in 11 x 7 x 2- inch glass baking dish. Add lamb chops and turn to coat with mixture. Let marinate 30 minutes.
- Preheat broiler. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange chops on baking sheet. Broil lamb to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer 2 lamb chops to each of 4 plates. Spoon drained Pickled Red Onions alongside each; garnish with mint sprigs.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are bright red in color and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the chops and infuse them with flavor. If you don't have time to marinate them for that long, you can marinate them for as little as 15 minutes.
- Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the lamb chops are cooked to your desired doneness: For medium-rare, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium-well, cook the chops to an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
These spiced marinated lamb chops with garlicky yogurt are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The lamb chops are tender and flavorful, and the garlicky yogurt sauce is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
