Allspice, cinnamon and a touch of cayenne pepper add a sweet and spicy flavor to loin lamb chops. This is a quick dish for a weekday meal and is also special enough for an Easter Sunday dinner.
Loin lamb chops are used here, but rib chops or lamb steaks cut from the leg can be used. The latter is a slice of lamb that is cut through the leg to make a steak about 1 to 1 { inches thick with a round slice of bone in the center. It is sometimes displayed in the meat case or you can ask the butcher to cut it for you.
Helpful Hints:
_ Orzo or other small pasta can be used instead of the couscous. It will need to be boiled for about 8 or 9 minutes.
