Steps:
- Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking, or build a fire and burn down wood until only red coals and gray ash remain.
- Score fat caps on lamb in 1/2-inch intervals with a sharp knife, cutting entirely through fat but not into flesh. Repeat in opposite direction to create a crosshatch pattern. Pound coriander and cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle just to crush (do not grind to a powder). Add cinnamon, thyme and rosemary leaves, oil, 4 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper, pounding and stirring just until combined. Rub spice mixture evenly over lamb. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, or wrap in plastic and refrigerate up to 1 day, returning to room temperature 1 hour before grilling.
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet on grill, or place directly on hot coals. Place loins in skillet, fat-sides down; scatter rosemary sprigs around them. Cook, undisturbed, until some of fat is rendered and lamb is browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until a thermometer inserted into thickest parts of meat registers 125 degrees to 130 degrees for medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board; let stand 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
LAMB LOINS - GRILLED WITH HOISIN SAUCE
Boneless loins are sold with the silver skin removed. If you happen to have some with this skin on, merely trim off with a sharp knife before marinating. To grill only 4 loins for fewer people, reduce the marinade ingredients by half. Hoisin sauce and rice vinegar are available in most supermarkets, or speciality shops. Prep. time includes marinating time in refrigerator. Calculate less time if marinating at room temperature. Cook-time includes stand-time. Serve with grilled vegetables and a plain salad with balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil dressing. Makes a welcome barbeque supper.
