Cumin and Mint Marinade for Lamb

This is a recent discovery and a very rich marinade. I usually make this amount for 6-8 chops, which is about a pound.  After they're done marinading I either cook them on a BBQ or broil them on low for 10-15 minutes each side.

In this picture I use short loin chops, rather then the regular ones. Kinda like mini t-bones...
