2 Racks of American Lamb; cut into 2 bone segments

Smokey Harissa Seasoning

3 tbsp Chipotle Paste

1 tbsp Smoked Paprika

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Cumin

1 tbsp Sea Salt

1.50 tsp Caraway Seeds

1 tbsp Black Pepper

5 Garlic

1 Lemon; juiced and grated

Mint Yogurt Sauce

0.25 cup Yogurt

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the Smoky Harissa Seasoning. Lather that over the top of the lamb chops and let marinade in the fridge for 3-12 hours.

Once marinated, pull out of the fridge and skewer the lamb between the middle of the bones. Discard leftover marinade.

Preheat your grill or charcoal to a medium-high temperature of 325F.

Add lamb kebabs to grill or over fire, and let cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until they hit 125F internal for medium rare.

Once done, pull and let rest for 5 minutes. Mix in a bowl all the ingredients for your Mint Yogurt sauce. Slice the lamb, top with the Mint Yogurt Sauce and enjoy!
