Instructions
1. Combine flaky sea salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, and chilli flakes in a small bowl. Press the spice mixture firmly onto all sides of each lamb cutlet, including the fat cap. Allow to sit at room temperature 15 minutes.
2. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add neutral oil. Sear the lamb chops 2 minutes per side for medium-rare (core temperature 57°C / 135°F), pressing the fat cap firmly against the pan for 1 minute to render and crisp.
3. Remove from the pan and rest on a rack 3 minutes. Apply roasted aubergine and herb crust while resting, then flash under a hot grill / broiler for 1–2 minutes if desired to set the crust. Serve immediately.
