No, its not the title of a lost Dr. Seuss opus, but a perfectly grown-up dish in which the richness of grilled spice-rubbed lamb chops is cut by lemon (both zest and flesh). Chances are you'll want to eat it anywhere.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large lemons
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon baharat (Eastern Mediterranean spice mixture; see cooks' note, below)
8 (3/4-inch-thick) rib lamb chops (2 pounds)
2 heads Bibb lettuce (about 3/4 pound each), torn into large pieces
1 1/2 cups mint leaves

Steps:

  • Grate 2 teaspoons zest from 1 lemon. Trim ends of both lemons, then stand lemons on a cut side and cut peel, including white pith, from lemons with a sharp paring knife (discard peel). Cut segments free from membranes, then cut segments crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss lemon segments gently with sugar in a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons oil. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes for flavors to develop.
  • Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir together with baharat, grated zest, remaining tablespoon oil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Rub all over lamb chops.
  • Toss lettuce and mint with lemon mixture.
  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .
  • Grill chops, turning once, about 6 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest, loosely covered, 5 minutes. Serve chops with salad.
  • Serve with:
  • orzo
