Spice Rubbed Lamb Tenderloin and Yogurt Sauce

Jennifer D.

Lamb tenderloin is not a common ingredient. In fact, I had never cooked it despite my years of cooking lamb. I purchased the tenderloin from d’Artagnan. I’m really glad I tried this recipe! The spice rub was delicious! It could be used on grilled lamb chops if tenderloin is too expensive or hard to find. I served it with rice and oven-roasted zucchini and yellow squash. <br />I did not give it five stars because the yogurt sauce, although it had a great flavor profile, was a bit runny for my taste. I was low on lemons, so I made up the difference with a dash of lime. I think the sauce as written could be used as a marinade for grilled chicken. <br />The lamb cooking and resting instructions yielded excellent results, but I think that the recipe could include the temp for medium rare. A small detail, but since the recipe is “easy,” that information would be helpful if a novice cook decides to make it. Over-cooking a thin cut like lamb tenderloin would dry out the meat and ruin the recipe for sure!
