  4. On a medium hot pan (preferably cast iron), place the lamb chops, spice side down. Now rub the rest of the spices on the other side on the chop and let it cook for 4 minutes on each side. After that, put it in the oven for 5 minutes.
  5. Once done, cover it with an aluminum foil let it rest for 5 minutes, before you serve it.
