Feeling like a trip to the Middle East

I'm going to start this post with a caveat ... despite flying over it a couple of times and spending 7 hours worth of layover in the Doha airport ... I have never REALLY been to the Middle East or Northern Africa.  Therefore, if this post is completely off, just roll with it.

As some of you may remember from prior posts, I love Harissa as a spice mix so when I found a jar of pre-made Harissa sauce at the local Whole Foods I knew what I was making for dinner!  I swung by the meat counter for a couple of lamb rib chops, of course.

I had found a dry Harissa mix at Whole Foods previously, and being a believer of the mantra: "If a little is good, a lot is better" I dusted the chops lightly with the Harissa powder before grilling them.  After the flip on the grill I started slathering on the Harissa sauce mix, with a final flip to make sure I got some sauce on the side that had started upwards.  These chops were smelling great!


For the sides I didn't do anything fancy; I whipped up a batch of Israeli couscous and sautéed some kale to go with the chops.  It may have taken longer to plate then I did to eat. Try it and enjoy!
