BBQ Merguez Lamb Chops

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I made these BBQ merguez lamb chops using up the rest of the merguez spice mix I'd made back in April for our merguez spiced lamb sausage rolls.   The spice has a lovely warmth with subtle heat.

The chops cook pretty quickly on the barbecue...they're tender and juicy with charred lines and have a lovely flavour from the spice mix.  

There are alternative cooking instructions included if you want to cook the chops inside.

Tips

  • Make ahead – the merguez spice mix can be made in advance and will keep in a tightly sealed jar for up to 6 months.
  • This BBQ merguez lamb chops recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.

Ingredients

For the merguez spice mix (makes almost 5 tbsp of spice mix):

  • 1.5 tsp fennel seeds
  • 0.25 of a cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
  • 0.25 tsp black peppercorns
  • 2 tbsp sweet paprika or pimenton

Instructions

For the merguez spice mix (see Tips):
  1. Heat a frying pan on medium heat and dry roast the cumin, coriander, fennel and cinnamon stick for about 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant. Do not let them burn.
  2. Leave the cooked spices to cool down completely, otherwise they'll create moisture in the final product and reduce the shelf life drastically.
  3. Place the cooked spices and peppercorns into a good spice or coffee mill and blitz to a fine powder.
  4. Add the paprika, chilli powder and salt and pulse to mix thoroughly or add these ingredients to a small bowl along with the ground spices and mix well to combine.
  5. Store the spice mix in a dry, clean jar and keep, tightly sealed, in a cool place along with your other spices. It should last for about 6 months but as with any other spices, its potency will decrease with age.
For the chops:
  1. Heat the BBQ to high. Rub both sides of each chop with some olive oil, then sprinkle 2 tsp of the spice mix over one side of each chop.   Rub the spice mix into each one, then turn them over and sprinkle the other 2 tsp of spice mix over them.  
  2. Place the chops on the hot BBQ in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.   Remove from the BBQ and rest for 5 minutes.
Alternative cooking instructions:
  1. Cook the chops under a hot grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
  2. They can also be cooked on the hob in a hot frying pan, griddle pan or skillet for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.  Cook them in a couple of batches so as not to overcrowd the pan.
