This spiced lamb chops paired with the cooling cucumber-mint salad is a delicious dinner combination, and it is ready in just 30 minutes. The mix of spices is simple, and you should have most or all of them on your shelf. These lamb chops are prepared indoors on a grill pan, but you can certainly prepare this on the grill if you like. Just preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Instead of lamb, you can use skinless boneless chicken breasts or boneless pork chops in this recipe, if you like. Use an English cucumber if you don’t care for seeds (or don’t want to have to worry about de-seeding them).
