Spicy [[Lamb|lamb]] chops cooked with typical Moroccan [[Herbs|herbs]] and [[Spices|spices]], this recipe is so easy, it's no more than lamb chops, dusted with a superb [[Spice|spice]] mix and then [[Grilled|grilled]] or [[Barbecued|barbecued]]

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with crusty [[Bread|bread]] and the remaining [[Cumin|cumin]] [[Salt|salt]] in a separate dish.
===Chef's note===
Most variants of this recipe call for more salt.  I reduced the amount to 2 teaspoons and still found it too salty.  This was very tasty but I think next time I would put less of the spice mix on the meat.
