Ingredients for Spiced Marinated Lamb Chops with Garlicky Yoghurt

• 350ml whole-milk plain Greek yoghurt

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 2 garlic cloves, finely grated

• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

• 2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon ground coriander

• 3/4 teaspoons ground turmeric

• 1/4 teaspoons ground allspice

• 900g rib, shoulder, or loin lamb chops, frenched if desired

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

How to make Spiced Marinated Lamb Chops with Garlicky Yoghurt

Combine yoghurt, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Transfer 120ml yoghurt mixture to a small bowl and set aside for serving. Stir cumin, coriander, turmeric, and allspice into remaining yoghurt mixture.

Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Using your hands, evenly coat all sides of chops with spiced yoghurt mixture (avoiding the bone if they are frenched). Let chops sit at room temperature 30 minutes, or cover and chill up to 12 hours.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Wipe off excess marinade from lamb chops and cook half until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side (the yoghurt in the marinade will help them take on colour quickly). Remove chops from skillet and pour off fat (no need to wipe it out). Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining chops.

Serve lamb chops with reserved yoghurt mixture alongside.
