Curry Powder Dusted Lamb Rib Chops Recipe
I was able to grab these lamb rib chops at my local grocery store for a really good price (think 25% off), and I was quickly able to utilize what my pantry had to offer and make a delicious dry rub. It is a great tasting dish and you don’t have to trim the fat like I did if you like more marbling on your lamb chops. It is a unique flavor and I haven’t seen much lamb chops flavored with dry rub and thrown onto a grill. I hope you will like it as much as I do.
- Lamb Rib Chops... 3 ribs per serving
- Curry Powder... 1.5 TBS
- Garam Masala... 0.25 TSP
- Coriander Seeds... 0.25 TSP
- Garlic Powder... 1 TSP
- Cayenne Powder... 0.25 TSP (can be changed to adjust heat level)
- Salt... to taste
- Pepper... to taste
- Chopped Mint... to decorate when plating
- Extra Virgin Olive OIl Spray (or any non-stick spray)
- Turn on the George Foreman Grill (or any electric grill) to make sure it’s searing hot when placing the lamb rib chops
- Prep the lamb rib chops by separating the meat into individual rib (if necessary) and trim the extra fat to your personal preference… about 5 min
- Salt and pepper the chops first, then in a separate bowl, mix all the spices together to make a dry rub.
- Place the lamb chops in the dry rub and make sure that all sides are well covered but not too thick, shake off the excess dry rub if necessary.
- Spray the non-stick spray onto George Foreman Grill (or any double-sided electric indoor grill)
- Finally, place the curry powder dusted lamb rib chops on the grill for 1 minute, then flip the chops and rotate them a bit to create attractive grill marks. Leave them on the grill for another minute then serve.
- Arrange the chops to create a vertical stature. Sprinkle chopped mint for decoration when plating.
