These Lebanese lamb chops with lemony lettuce offer a vibrant burst of Middle Eastern flavour, combining warm aromatic spices with the sharp, clean notes of citrus. This diabetes-friendly dish relies on baharat—a fragrant blend of black pepper, coriander, and cinnamon—to provide a deep, savoury crust without the need for heavy sauces. The lamb is grilled until succulent, ensuring a lean yet satisfying protein that remains at the heart of this wholesome meal.

Accompanied by a refreshing salad of Bibb lettuce and plenty of fresh mint, this recipe is perfect for a light summer dinner or a healthy midweek treat. The dressing uses the whole fruit for a more textured, zesty finish that perfectly cuts through the richness of the meat. Serve it simply as it is for a low-carb option or with a small portion of fluffy wholewheat couscous.
