Baharat spiced lamb rub

Baharat spiced lamb rub

This spice rub pairs brilliantly with any kind of lamb—loin chops, chump (rump) chops, cutlets and even as a roast rub. We love it with a fresh and acidic salad with lots of lemon but you could add some couscous to the mix if you want to stretch the recipe even further or enjoy with steamed veg and sweet potato mash in winter.
