Ingredients

1 pound fresh green beans
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 a lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
1 teaspoon freshly ground cloves
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 loin lamb chops

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the green beans, and cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Just before beans are done toss in the shallots. Drain and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the beans and shallots with olive oil, lemon juice, pine nuts, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Mix the 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon together. Brush each lamb chop lightly with the olive oil and season with the spice mixture. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chops in the skillet, without crowding until brown and crisp on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes for both sides. Finish chops in the oven for 1 minute for medium rare, or to desired doneness. Place the lamb chops around the beans and serve.

Spice Was Extra Nice
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe won the highest praise at dinner. Because our selection of lamb chops was not up to par, I used a small cut of... leg of lamb (about a pound, 1-inch thick cut). Other than the cut substitution, I followed the recipe to a T and the spices were perfect. Also, I'm thrilled to find a quick fresh green bean recipe. I paired the lamb and green beans witth Bobby Flay's couscous and currant recipe. The whole meal had a wonderful Middle Eastern flair that really worked. Read more

OMG SO GOOD
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was afraid all the intense spices in the rub would be too much, but it was the perfect combination, very complimentary to... the lamb. And the beans were a fine accompaniment. I didn't have pine nuts on hand so I substituted them with sliced almonds, which worked quite well. I will be preparing them to go with other dishes as well.Read more
