Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high and lightly oil the grates. Mix the tandoori marinade and 1 tablespoon yogurt in a small bowl. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper. Rub all over with the yogurt mixture. Let sit at room temperature, 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt with 1 tablespoon water, the cilantro, grated garlic, lemon juice, 2 pinches of salt and a grind of pepper in a small bowl.
- Toss the green beans, tomatoes, vegetable oil, sliced garlic, cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread out the vegetables on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
- Place the packet on the grill and cook until the vegetables are lightly charred and the tomatoes start to burst, about 10 minutes. Grill the lamb chops 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium doneness. Divide the lamb and vegetables among plates. Top with cilantro and serve with the yogurt sauce.

Steps:
- In a food processor fitted with a metal blade add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, cayenne, and salt. Pulse until combined. Pour in olive oil and pulse into a paste. Rub the paste on both sides of the lamb chops and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator and allow the chops to come to room temperature; it will take about 20 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan over high heat until almost smoking, add the chops and sear for about 2 minutes. Flip the chops over and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes for medium.
PAKISTANI-STYLE GRILLED LAMB CHOPS
Steps:
- Combine the ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, black pepper, and garam masala in a shallow dish large enough to hold the chops. Mix well. Rub this marinade on both sides of the chops, cover, and refrigerate 4-24 hours.
- Just before eating, preheat the broiler and set a rack 4-5 inches from the source of heat.
- Put the chops, with any marinade that clings to them easily, in a baking tray, brush both sides with oil, and place under broiler. Broil 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned. If the chops are an inch thick they will still be pink inside, the way I like them. If you want them more done, put them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chops and the doneness desired.

Transfer coated lamb to sealable plastic bags and coat remaining meat in same manner. Marinate, chilled, at least 2 hours.
- Prepare grill.
- Season lamb with salt and grill in batches on an oiled rack about 4 minutes on one side, then 2 minutes on the other for medium-rare. (Alternatively, broil lamb under a preheated broiler 2 to 3 inches from heat.) Serve lamb warm or at room temperature.
- To make 6 servings:
- Follow the directions above using the following ingredient amounts:
- 1 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 3 whole cloves
- 2 tablespoons paprika (not hot)
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 2 (8-rib) racks of lamb, frenched to the eye (about 2 3/4 lb. frenched)
- 4 cups chopped fresh cilantro (4 large bunches)
Tips:
- For the most flavorful lamb chops, choose chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
- Marinating the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the lamb chops in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Be sure to preheat your grill or grill pan before cooking the lamb chops, and cook them over direct heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Let the lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving, to allow the juices to redistribute.
Conclusion:
Tunisian-style grilled lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. With their bold flavors and tender texture, these lamb chops are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
