Moroccan-Spiced Lamb Chops with Charmoula

Back to Sunset mag. for another tempting and tasty treat to tantalize your taste buds!! Their quote: "You can make the charmoula a day ahead and chill. Bring to room temp. to serve. A rack of lamb may give you more chops than you need. Save extras to cook after your guests leave - post-party treat!"
(serves 6)

Charmoula:
1/3 cup EVOO
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1&1/2 T. fresh* lemon juice
1 T. ground cumin
1 T. smoked paprika
1 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. freshly* ground pepper

Lamb:
1 t. ground cumin
1 t. ground coriander
1 t. ground cinnamon
1 t. kosher salt
1/4 t. ground cloves
1 rack of lamb, Frenched (about 1&1/4 lbs.)
1 T. veg. oil
12-18 small cilantro leaves

Make charmoula: Whisk together olive oil, cilantro, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, S&P. Set aside. In another small bowl, mix ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground cloves, Cut rack of lamb into individual chops and coat with spice mixture. Cover and chill overnight. Heat oven to 400. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan over med.-high heat. Swirl veg. oil into pan. Add 6 lamb chops and cook until they begin to release fat and are browned, about 3 mins. Turn and cook until browned on the other side, 1-2 mins. Transfer pan to oven and bake until lamb is med.-rare (145 on an insta-read thermometer), 3-5 mins. Spoon about 1 T. charmoula onto each plate. Arrange lamb chops on sauce and top with 2-3 cilantro leaves.
