Ingredients

• 4 lamb chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Salt, to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup couscous
• 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your sous vide machine to 135°F (57°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, smoked paprika, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, and a generous pinch of salt.
3. Rub the lamb chops with olive oil and coat thoroughly with the spice blend.
4. Place the seasoned lamb chops into vacuum seal bags, adding a minced garlic clove to each. Seal the bags tightly.
5. Submerge the bags in the preheated sous vide water bath and cook for 2 hours.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the couscous. In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in couscous, and cover. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and stir in butter.
7. For the roasted vegetables, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cherry tomatoes and bell peppers on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 15-20 minutes.
8. Once the lamb chops are cooked, remove them from the bags and sear them in a hot pan for about 1-2 minutes per side to achieve a beautiful, caramelized crust.
9. Serve the lamb chops over couscous, with a side of roasted vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Helpful Tips

• For a quicker sear: Make sure your pan is extremely hot before adding the lamb chops.
• Vegetable variations: Swap in your favorite seasonal vegetables for roasting.
• Storage: Leftover lamb chops can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Ingredient substitutions: If you’re out of a particular spice, a pre-made Moroccan spice blend can be used.

Pairings

This sumptuous lamb dish pairs perfectly with a mint tea or a glass of red wine. For dessert, consider serving a honey and almond baklava to keep the North African theme running through your meal.
