Indulge in the delightful taste of BBQ Moroccan Lamb Chops, featuring succulent New Zealand grass-fed lamb (as of 2025 about $11-12 pound for 5-6 chops) that’s packed with flavor.
The rich, buttery essence of the lamb pairs perfectly with traditional Moroccan spices, creating a dish that’s both aromatic and mouthwatering.
New Zealand lamb chops are known for their rich, gamey flavor, enhanced by their grass-fed diet.

The spices—cumin, Aleppo pepper, turmeric, and coriander—bring warmth and depth, creating a beautiful harmony of tastes. Like with these North African Lamb Chops.
Grilling the lamb chops adds a smoky richness, and the high heat helps to caramelize the spices on the surface, giving them a delicious crust while keeping the interior juicy and tender.
Pair the grilled BBQ Moroccan Lamb Chops with creamy smooth mashed potatoes for a comforting side that complements the rich flavors of the lamb.
Add BBQ corn on the cob for a sweet and smoky crunch, or this Moroccan-Style Carrot Salad rounding out your meal beautifully.
You might also include sides like couscous or a fresh salad to add some variety and color to your plate.
The fresh mint not only adds a pop of color but also a refreshing touch that balances the spices beautifully.
