1 ½ tsp ras el hanout
1 garlic clove , crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
zest and juice 0.5 lemon
small pack parsley , roughly chopped
0.5 small pack mint , leaves picked and roughly chopped
½ red onion , finely chopped
50g pomegranate seeds

Steps:

Put the lamb chops in a large bowl. Add the ras el hanout, garlic, oil, most of the lemon juice and some seasoning. Toss everything together and set aside for at least 15 mins.
Combine the herbs, onion, pomegranate seeds and lemon zest in a bowl. Season and set aside. Heat a griddle or grill until very hot and cook the lamb chops for 3-4 mins each side, until cooked but still pink and juicy on the inside, then leave to rest for a few mins. Serve the chops with the salad, houmous and pitta, and squeeze over the remaining lemon juice.
