This vibrant high-protein dish brings together succulent grilled lamb and a fragrant, spice-infused couscous. Using lamb shoulder chops provides a deeper, more savoury flavour that stands up beautifully to the warmth of curry powder, turmeric and cinnamon. It is a sophisticated yet simple meal that relies on fresh ingredients and aromatic store-cupboard staples to create a balanced, restaurant-quality dinner at home.

To balance the rich spices and the char of the grill pan, a cooling homemade raita is included. By using coarsely grated courgette and thick Greek yoghurt, you add a refreshing crunch and a boost of nutrients to the plate. This recipe is an excellent choice for a quick midweek dinner or a healthy weekend treat, offering a satisfying combination of lean protein and complex carbohydrates.

1/8 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra
350ml de agua
1 1/4 cucharaditas de sal
2 cucharadas de mantequilla sin sal
275g couscous (230g)
575g (1/2-inch-thick) lamb shoulder blade chops

How to make Grilled Lamb Chops with Curried Couscous and Courgette Raita

Heat lightly oiled grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.

Meanwhile, toast curry, turmeric (if using), cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add water, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and butter and bring to a boil. Place couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour in boiling water mixture, then quickly cover with a plate or plastic wrap and let stand 5 minutes.

While couscous stands, pat chops dry and sprinkle on both sides with 1/4 teaspoons salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Grill chops, turning over once, about 6 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a serving plate.

For raita, stir together yoghurt, courgette, mint, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt.

Fluff couscous with a fork and serve with lamb and raita.
