Ingredients

  • 15 (3 ounce) lamb loin chops (1-inch thick)
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1 pinch chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 lime wedges
  • 2 lemon wedges

Method

  • Place the lamb chops into a roasting pan, and season evenly with the garlic, garlic powder, chili powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lime juice, soy sauce and olive oil. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Allow the lamb to stand at room temperature while the oven preheats.
  • Roast uncovered in the preheated oven to your desired degree of doneness, about 20 minutes for medium, or 30 minutes for well done. Garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro and squeeze lemon and lime juice over the top before serving.
