Instructions:

1. Mix the spices: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.

2. Prepare the lamb: Pat lamb chops dry with a paper towel.

3. Apply the rub: Generously sprinkle the rub over both sides of the lamb chops and press it in gently.

4. Rest: Let the lamb sit for 15–30 minutes at room temperature (or up to 2 hours in the fridge) to absorb the flavors.

5. Cook: Grill, roast, or pan-sear the lamb chops to your desired doneness.

💡 Tips:

• Fresh herbs boost flavor: If you have fresh rosemary or thyme, chop finely and mix in with the rub.

• Marinate for deeper flavor: For extra flavor, coat the chops with olive oil before applying the rub.

• Serve with sauce: A mint chimichurri or garlic yogurt sauce pairs beautifully with rubbed lamb chops.
