Compared to roasting a whole lamb, roasting lamb chops has a much lower threshold.
Roasting a whole lamb requires a long marinating time, several continuous hours of roasting, and strict requirements for the oven, charcoal fire, and so on.
But roasting lamb chops is much simpler; so simple that it can even be made without the roasting step.
Roasted lamb chops are a common dish in medium-sized restaurants in Northern areas.
The orthodox method is naturally charcoal grilling. However, charcoal grilling takes too long and is inefficient. Customers usually have to pre-order it. If they want to add it on the spot, the restaurant can hardly make it immediately.
So, many alternative cooking methods have evolved.
The most common method is to boil the lamb chops in advance.
When a customer orders, they are placed in an oven or on a grill over high heat until golden brown, sprinkled with cumin, sesame, and chili powder, and served on a plate lined with lettuce leaves.
