This meal is simply delicious. There is a serious lack of Middle Eastern restaurants around here and this helps to satiate my cravings.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 (8 ounce) lamb loin chops
salt
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1 lb cleaned bagged spinach, tough ends removed
Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix spices. Season the lamb w/ salt and drizzle w/ olive oil. Coat both sides of the chops w/ the spices.
2. In a very large skillet, heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil until shimmering. Add the chops and cook over moderate heat until browned and medium-rare, about 7 minutes per side.
3. Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, melt the butter. Add the shallots and cook over moderate heat until softened & golden. Add handfuls of spinach to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring and adding more spinach after each batch wilts. Season w/ salt , mound on plates and serve w/ lamb.
4. MMM!
