Steps:
- Place lamb chops in a large bowl. Season with olive oil, garlic, cumin, mixed herbs, pepper, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Toss until well coated with oil and seasonings. Cover and refrigerate. Allow to marinate at least 4 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place lamb chops on grill. Sprinkle the chops with a bit of salt. Grill until seared on the first side, 4 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the chops. Rotate chops a half turn on the grill about a minute before turning them. Turn and grill the other side to desired doneness, another 4 to 7 minutes. For medium rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should bead 125 to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer to a serving dish and tent loosely with foil.
- Place marmalade in bowl. Add chili flakes, mint, and rice vinegar. Stir together thoroughly.
- Brush the sauce over the chops and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack in lower third. Rub lamb with a generous amount of salt and pepper, then rub with oil. With the tip of a sharp paring knife, cut twenty 1/2-inch-deep slits all over lamb; insert garlic slivers into openings.
- Place lamb on a roasting rack set on a rimmed baking sheet; place in oven. Immediately reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Roast lamb until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 125 degrees to 135 degrees for rare, or 135 degrees to 140 degrees for medium, 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 hours. Remove from oven; let rest 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, make the mint sauce: In a small saucepan, bring vinegar, sugar, and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until liquid is syrupy and reduced to 1 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in mint, and let cool completely.

Steps:
- Combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the lamb, making sure it is covered with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator, covered, overnight or for up to 3 days.
- Bring the lamb to room temperature. Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. Scrape the marinade off the lamb, wipe the meat with paper towels, and season it generously with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with oil to keep the lamb from sticking, and grill on both sides until the internal temperature is 120 to 125 degrees for rare. This will take 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how hot the grill is.
- Remove the lamb to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Then slice and serve.
MINT CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB

- Prepare lamb:
- Stir together herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, and oil, then rub all over lamb.
- Make relish:
- Stir together all relish ingredients and season with pepper.
- To cook lamb using a charcoal grill:
- Open vents on bottom of grill. Light charcoal (80 to 100 briquettes) in chimney starter. Leaving about one quarter of grill free of charcoal, bank lit charcoal across rest of grill so that coals are about three times higher on opposite side.
- Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack over area where coals are piled highest for 3 to 4 seconds. Sear lamb on lightly oiled grill rack directly over hottest part of coals, uncovered, turning over once and, if necessary, moving around grill to avoid flare-ups, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes total. Move lamb to coolest part of grill, then cover with inverted roasting pan and grill, turning over once, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center registers 135°F for medium-rare, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes.
- To cook lamb using a gas grill:
- Preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes. Sear lamb on lightly oiled grill rack, covered with lid, turning over once, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes total. Turn off 1 burner (middle burner if there are 3) and put lamb above shut-off burner. Reduce heat on remaining burner(s) to moderate and grill lamb, covered with lid, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center registers 135°F for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes.
- Serve lamb:
- Thinly slice lamb across the grain and serve with relish.
GRILLED HERB-ENCRUSTED LEG OF LAMB WITH FRESH MINT SAUCE
This is a very easy but delicious tasting lamb. I don't particularly care for lamb, but I made it because it's a favorite of my husband's and my mom's. My dad isn't much of a fan either, but he said it's the best lamb he's ever eaten. THIS MUST MARINATE FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS!!! The sauce shouldn't be made ahead of time, but it takes only a couple of minutes to throw together. The sauce is also a must to the overall success of the dish; it's much better than mint jelly, IMHO. I cut the recipe in half and it makes a nice amount for four people with a bit of leftovers for sandwiches the next day (although I don't reduce the amounts of the marinade). I serve this with recipe#34382 and recipe#50847.

Steps:
- At least 1 day ahead, marinate the lamb: Set the lamb flat on a large cutting board. Trim any excess fat and open like a book to make an even thickness all around. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top of the lamb; pound to flatten slightly to make a more even thickness. Cut the meat into 2 or 3 more manageable pieces. Sprinkle all over with 1 T. of the salt and 1 t. of the pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix the mustard, garlic, thyme, rosemary and the remaining 1 T. of the salt and 1 t. pepper. Spread all over the lamb, transfer to a large nonreactive dish, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 2 days.
- Just before grilling, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk 1/4 cup water with the sugar, salt and pepper - they don't have to dissolve completely. Stir in the mint, vinegar and oil. Let sit while the lamb grills. Taste and season with more sugar, salt and pepper if needed (the sauce should have a sharp, acidic tang to complement the rich lamb).
- Grill the lamb: Heat a gas grill to medium high or prepare a charcoal fire with hot and medium-hot areas. Put the lamb on the grill (on the hotter part if using a charcoal fire) and cook (covered if on a gas grill) without disturbing it until it's nicely browned, about 6-8 minutes. Flip, reduce the heat on the gas grill to medium (or move to the cooler part of the charcoal fire), and cook until and instant-read thermometer inserted into a thicker part of the lamb registers 130 degrees F for med-rare, 5-8 more minutes.
- Tranfer the lamb to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve with the mint sauce.

- Pat lamb dry. If you have metal skewers, thread 2 through the lamb horizontally to help the meat hold together and make it easier to flip on the grill. (If you don't have skewers, just be sure you have long sturdy tongs.) Rub the herb mixture evenly over the lamb. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 1 day to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat a gas grill to medium or prepare a medium-hot charcoal grill and push the coals to one side.
