  • 1 Tbsp (12g) - Ground Cumin
  • 2 tsp (8g) - Ground Coriander

  • ½ tsp (1g) - Cayenne Pepper or Chilli Powder
  • Salt & Pepper To Taste

Spiced Yogurt -

  • 1 Cup (250g) - Natural Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp (12g) - Moroccan Spice Blend

Method

  • Preheat coal or gas bbq to 240℃ - 470℉. Set up for direct heat.
  • 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.
  • In the meantime, prepare the spiced yogurt by adding all the ingredients to a bowl and mixing to combine. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Serve the lamb on a platter, using the spiced yogurt as a dipping sauce or a bed for the cutlets. Garnish with coriander (cilantro), mint or flat-leaf parsley. Dig in.
