Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir together the thyme, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt in a small bowl; season with pepper. Put the lamb chops on a plate; rub each side with spice mixture. Let stand at least 10 minutes, or up to 1 hour.

    Step 2

    Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the chops. Reduce heat to medium. Cook the chops, flipping halfway through, until deeply browned, about 10 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer each chop to a serving plate. Divide the arugula between the plates; drizzle with the remaining teaspoon oil.
