=== Ingredients ===
* 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
* 1/4 t ground cumin
* 1/4 t ground cardamom
* 2 T fresh lime juice
* 3/4 t salt
* 1/2 t black pepper
* 2 T plus 2 t olive oil
* 8 (1/2"-3/4" thick) rib lamb chops (~2 lbs)

=== Preparation ===
Whisk together garlic, cumin, cardamom, lime juice, salt, pepper, and 2 t oil and transfer to a sealable plastic bag just large enough to hold lamb.  Add lamb, seal bag, forcing out excess air; massage until evenly coated.  Marinate at room temp, turning bag occasionally, 15 minutes.

Heat 1 T oil in 12" nonstick skillet until hot but not smoking; cook half of lamb about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.  Transfer cooked lamb to platter.  Wipe out skillet; repeat with remaining lamb and oil.  Transfer to platter and let rest 5 minutes.
