Directions
1.
Trim fat from chops. For rub: In a small bowl, combine rosemary and 1 clove garlic. Sprinkle rub evenly over chops; rub in with your fingers.
2.
For a charcoal grill, place lamb on grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered for 14 to 17 minutes or to desired doneness, turning once halfway through grilling. For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place meat on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.
3.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together spinach, garbanzo beans, and cucumber. Arrange spinach mixture on four dinner plates. For dressing: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, green onions, milk, 1 clove garlic, salt, and pepper; set aside.
4.
Cut lamb into thin bite-size slices. Arrange lamb on top of spinach mixture. Drizzle dressing over salads. Sprinkle with golden raisins. Makes 4 servings.

Broiling Directions
Preheat broiler. Place chops on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 12 to 15 minutes, or until desired doneness, turning once halfway through broiling.
