Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 clove garlic, minced

8 rib lamb chops, about 3/4-inch thick, visible fat trimmed

1 pound fresh or frozen peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced

1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons peach preserves, melted

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Oregano sprigs

1. Preheat grill on high heat.

2. Combine cumin, oregano, and minced garlic. Gently rub mixture into the lamb chops and set aside.

3. In a small bowl, toss peaches with lemon juice, peach preserves, and cardamom. Let stand for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

4. Reduce heat to medium-high. Place lamb chops on preheated grill or grill pan and sear for about 2 minutes.

   Flip over and cook for another 3 minutes for medium-rare and 3-1/2 minutes for medium. Serve two lamps chops per serving along with the spiced peaches. Garnish with oregano sprigs.

Instead of the frozen peach mixture, you can grill fresh peach halves sprinkled with cardamom to serve with the lamb chops.
