Preparation
Step 1
In the oven, position a rack 4 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler to high.
Combine 1/4 cup of the olive oil and the lime juice in a wide, shallow dish. Put the lamb chops in the oil mixture and marinate, turning once, for 10 min. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 Tbs. oil, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, cayenne, and garlic; stir well.
Remove the chops from the marinade and arrange them on a rack fitted over a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 tsp. salt evenly all over both sides of the lamb. With a brush or your fingers, dab the spice mixture onto both sides of the chops. Broil, turning halfway through cooking, until the chops are nicely browned on both sides and cooked to your liking, 8 min. total for medium.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with couscous tossed with chopped scallions and diced tomato; add a dollop of plain yogurt, if you like.
