Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pulse cilantro, parsley, garlic, cumin, paprika, lemon juice, and 3 tbsp olive oil in a food processor until a thick paste forms.

  2. Step 2

    Reserve half the charmoula in a bowl. Pat lamb chops dry and coat both sides generously with the remaining charmoula.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a cast iron skillet over high until it smokes, about 2 minutes. Sear lamb chops 2 minutes per side without moving—edges should char.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer chops to a plate. Add vegetables to the hot skillet in a single layer and sear, stirring occasionally, until charred and tender, 8 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return lamb to the skillet and toss gently with the vegetables for 1 minute to warm through.

  6. Step 6

    Plate the lamb and vegetables, drizzle with the reserved charmoula, and serve immediately.
