Add a little salt and pepper and then squish the lamb chops or cutlets into the mix, turning them over to coat both sides. (This will give a lovely crust when cooked.) Fry them in the pan until they are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook, depending on how you like them done, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer them to a plate to rest for a few minutes, covered with foil (this will make them much more tender and juicy).
• Meanwhile, trim and slice the spring onions. Add the spring onions and salmonds to the frying pan and cook over medium heat, stirring every now and then, until the onions are wilted and the almonds golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• For the couscous: Meanwhile, put some water on to boil.
• Pour the couscous into a medium bowl and just cover with the boiled water. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for about 5 minutes.

• Divide the couscous among four serving plates. Sit the rested lamb chops on top and drizzle the glaze (and any resting juices) over. Scatter over the spring onion and almond mix. Rip up the mint leaves and scatter them over the top. If using, top with the pomegranate seeds and serve.

• COOKS' NOTES:
• Beer can be confusing to measure: Do you include the head, or scoop it off, or let it dissipate? Guinness comes in a variety of different-size cans and bottles. Tilt the measuring cup while pouring the stout against the side of the measure (to minimize the creation of its famous head), and let the foam subside so that you are only measuring the dark liquid. Any leftovers are the cook's treat.
• To crush coriander seeds and peppercorns, either use a mortar and pestle, or put coriander seeds and peppercorns in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with the bottom of a heavy skillet or a rolling pin.
• Glaze can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring it to room temperature before using.
• Depending on where you buy your lamb rib chops, they can come trimmed and frenched (the bones are scraped clean of fat and meat), or left alone with the thin layers of fat and meat on the bones intact. It is generally cheaper to buy 8-rib racks of lamb from the big-box stores and cut them yourself into chops. If you prefer the look of long, cleaned bones, select the frenched chops or racks (some big-box stores sell them that way). If you want extra nibbly bits of meat and fat left on the bone for your guests to gnaw on, look for untrimmed chops, or specifically request the butcher not to french the bones.
