Pan-Seared Lamb Chops With Preserved Lemon Harissa Relish

• For the lamb:
• 1 tablespoon yogurt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 ground smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Canola oil
• 14 small rib chops or 6 large chops
• For the preserved lemon harissa relish:
• 1 minced preserved lemon
• 1/2 tablespoon harissa
• 1/4 cup chopped mint
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup minced red onion

1. Make the yogurt marinade: Combine the yogurt, olive oil, and spices in a small bowl and whisk together. Slather on both sides of lamb chops. Let marinate for 30 minutes or so. (Ideally, you'd grind the spices by hand for the freshest flavor; you can use a hand blender or chopper.)
2. In a skillet set over moderately high heat, add the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the chops (you may have to work in batches) and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, for medium rare. (Time in the pan will depend on size; I noticed that once the lamb easily came off the pan, they were ready to flip.)
3. Transfer the chops to a platter and when they're all finished, serve with the preserved lemon harissa relish and a bed of couscous if you'd like.
4. Using your hand blender, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve with the lamb.
