hooray for lamb...and not the fluffy variety...the eating variety.

I have been cooking more and I made this for dinner last night.  Wow....very very good.  And pretty easy.  I love cumin, lamb, and couscous.


Lamb:



2 teaspoons ground cumin



1 teaspoon ground coriander



1/2 teaspoon salt



1 tablespoon honey



8 (4-ounce) lamb loin chops, trimmed



Cooking spray


    

 

Couscous:
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup uncooked couscous
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro


    

      



Preparation


Preheat broiler.

To
prepare lamb, combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Brush honey evenly
over both sides of lamb; sprinkle evenly with spice mixture. Arrange
lamb in a single layer on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray;
broil 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.



To
prepare couscous, heat a nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat
pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in
cranberries and next 4 ingredients (through 1/4 teaspoon salt); bring
to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in couscous. Cover and let stand 5
minutes. Add cilantro; fluff with a fork.
