Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season the lamb all over with salt and pepper, then rub with the ras el hanout. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
  2. Combine the butter, lemon zest, all but 2 tablespoons scallions, the finely chopped dill and the chopped cilantro in a small bowl; stir to combine. Add to the drained potatoes and mash with a potato masher or large fork. Slowly add the milk, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm.
  3. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and heat until shimmering. Add the lamb chops and cook until well browned, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare to medium.
  4. Divide the lamb chops and potatoes among plates. Top with the remaining scallions, roughly chopped dill and cilantro leaves. Serve with harissa.
