Makes 6 to 8 Servings
Ingredients
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 16 small (¾-inch-thick) lamb rib chops (about 2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • ⅓ cup fresh orange juice
  • 2½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cane syrup
  • 2 small cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • Garnish: crushed red pepper, chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, stir together salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, coriander, and ginger; sprinkle salt mixture all over lamb chops. Let stand at room temperature for 40 minutes. Pat lamb chops dry. 2. In a 12-inch stainless steel skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add half of lamb chops; cook until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 130° to 135°, about 1 minute per side, or to desired degree of doneness. Transfer lamb chops to a large plate; keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining lamb chops. Discard drippings; wipe skillet clean.
  2. In same skillet, bring orange juice, Worcestershire, cane syrup, garlic, rosemary, vinegar, and red pepper to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Brush mixture all over lamb chops. Garnish with red pepper and rosemary, if desired.
