The recipe for these lamb chops was inspired by a recipe from Barbara Fenzl of Les Gourmettes. Barb served lamb chops at her classes last week. I forgot to bring home a set of recipes from the class, but I remember that Barb’s marinade had cumin, coriander, and cayenne. I wanted to make something similar for my guys, so I made sure my spice rub had those three spices included.

Connor is home for spring break – unfortunately he has bronchitis and not much of an appetite. He went to the doctor yesterday and got a Z–Pak prescription, so hopefully, he’ll be feeling better … and hungry… soon!

The squash and lamb take the same time to prepare. First, preheat the oven, then make the spice rub and spread it on the meat. Get the squash into the oven while the lamb sits at room temperature. Take the squash from the oven to cool slightly while you grill the meat. Finally, scrape out the squash while the cooked meat sits.  The timing of these two together is perfect! Sit down and enjoy.
