Very tasty. We're mint fans and I thought this could have used more. I did cut back on the cumin to about a teaspoon, our cumin is a richly flavored/fresh ground and already fairly strong. I broiled rather than grilling. This is an easy way to prepare lamb chops.

A traditional lamb and mint combination is taken to the next level with balsamic vinegar and honey. The natural sugar in the honey helps the chops caramelize on the grill.
