Ingredients

2 pounds lamb loin chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon mixed herbs - Italian, Greek, or French blend
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt as needed
¼ cup orange marmalade
1 pinch hot chili flakes
½ tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

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.

Ingredients

8 australian lamb loin chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 navel oranges, for juice and zest
1/4 cup of fresh mint, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
30 -40 fresh green beans
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Place the lamb in a flat glass or ceramic dish. Combine orange juice with the olive oil and pour over the lamb, turning chops to coat well in mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper, cover with plastic, and marinate for 20-30 minutes, turning the chops occasionally during that time.
To make the gremolata, combine chopped orange zest, mint and garlic in a small bowl and set aside.
Preheat grill to medium. Pat the lamb dry and grill for about 4 minutes on each side or until cooked as preferred. For medium-rare, the chops should register 130°F on a meat thermometer or be plump and springy when pressed.
While the lamb is cooking, steam the beans for 1 minute or until tender-crisp. Drain the water and add the olive oil and sliced almonds. Season to taste and shake the pan gently until heated through.
Serve the lamb with the beans, and spoon the orange-mint gremolata over all or on the side.
