Cooking Instructions

  1. Whisk together thegarlic, cumin, cardamom, lime juice, lime zest, salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and transfer to a sealable plastic bag just large enough to hold the lamb chops. 
  2. Add the lamb chops, seal the bag, forcing out the excess air, and massage the lamb until it is coated. 
  3. Marinate at room tempreture for about 15 minutes, turning the bag occasionally. 
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over a high heat until hot but not smoking. 
  5. Cook half of the chops for about 3-5 minutes on each side, transfer them to a platter and cover with foil. 
  6. Wipe out the pan, then heat the remaining olive oil and cook the remaining chops in the same way. 
  7. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter and serve with fresh coriander, pomegranate rubies and lime halves.
