Notes
Storage: Leftover lamb chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain tenderness. The herb yogurt sauce is best made fresh but can be stored separately for up to 3 days. Make-Ahead: You can marinate the lamb chops with the spice rub up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate. The herb yogurt can be prepared up to a day in advance. Variations: For a gluten-free option, ensure all spices are certified gluten-free. Substitute lamb chops with chicken breasts or firm tofu for a different protein. Serving Suggestions: Pair with a simple side salad, roasted vegetables, or couscous for a complete meal.
