- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl for the Moroccan spice blend.
- Add the lamb cutlets, ⅔ of the Moroccan spice blend, and olive oil to a bowl. Mix well to combine and coat the lamb.
- Once the BBQ is hot, add the lamb cutlets and sear for 2 ½ minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. This method achieves medium-medium rare lamb. Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
