Method

1

 For the cumin salt, toast the cumin seeds in a dry frying pan over a high heat until fragrant. Tip into a pestle and mortar and crush roughly - leaving a little texture. Mix with the salt and set aside.

2

Lay the lamb chops on a plate and sprinkle them with sea salt, black pepper and ras-el-hanout. Drizzle with the olive oil and massage into the chops then leave to marinate for 1 hour.

3

For the salsa, combine all of the herbs, the jalapeños and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped then, with the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil. Add the lemon juice and salt to season and pulse to combine a final time then check the seasoning and set aside until needed.

4

Toss the vegetables with some salt, pepper and olive oil.

5

When ready to cook, heat the BBQ to high - setting it up so you have a high heat on one side of your BBQ and a lower heat on the other.

6

Griddle the vegetables first over a high heat, letting them char on each side for about 5 - 7 minutes, then remove to the side of the BBQ with the lower heat and continue to cook until tender.

7

Add the lamb to the side with the high heat and cook for about 3 - 4 minutes on each side for medium, or until done to your liking.

8

To serve, pile the griddled vegetables onto one side of a serving platter and add the lamb to the opposite end. Make a space in the middle and add the cumin salt for dipping and serve with the fiery salsa on the side.
