Ingredients

  • lamb chops
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sumac
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt

Sumac Dill Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup of plain greek yogurt
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of sumac
  • a pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  • Combine 1 cup of plain greek yogurt, 1 clove of finely minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh dill, 1 teaspoon of sumac and a pinch of sea salt in a dish. Cover and chill until the lamb is ready to serve 
  • Combine 1/2 teaspoon of sumac, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of dried coriander and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt in a small dish and generously season the lamb chops
  • Let the seasoned lamb sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling
  • Place a grill pan over medium heat and allow it to warm for several minutes 
  • Drizzle the grill with olive oil and set the seasoned lamb chops onto the warm grill
  • Let the chops cook undisturbed for 3 minutes and then flip and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes on the other side 
  • The chops should be cooked to about medium rare at this point. If you prefer them cooked more, flip them in a way that will create cross section sear marks on the grill and cook to your preferred level of doneness 
  • Serve with the chilled sumac dill yogurt sauce
