Let’s take a closer look at some of the health benefits associated with the ingredients used in this recipe.

Lamb chops

Lamb meat, when consumed in moderation, can be part of a healthy diet. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for the growth, repair and maintenance of tissues in our body. Lamb is also rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including zinc, iron, vitamin B12 and selenium. These nutrients play an important role in supporting immune function, promoting brain health, and supporting red blood cell production.

Harissa paste

Harissa paste, a staple of Moroccan cuisine, is made from a blend of chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, and various spices. The main ingredient, chili, contains capsaicin, which is responsible for the spicy kick. Capsaicin has been found to have numerous health benefits. It can help reduce inflammation, boost metabolism, relieve pain and promote heart health. In addition, it can help with weight control by suppressing appetite and increasing satiety.

Coriander leaves

Coriander leaves, also known as coriander, add a refreshing touch to the dish. Not only do they improve taste, but they also provide several health benefits. Coriander leaves are rich in antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C and vitamin K. These nutrients promote digestion, support a healthy immune system, improve heart health and maintain bone health. They also have antimicrobial properties, helping to prevent foodborne illnesses.

Rice or couscous

Rice and couscous, the traditional accompaniments to spicy Moroccan chops, can provide valuable nutritional benefits. While rice is a good source of energy, fiber and essential minerals such as manganese and selenium, couscous is low in fat and rich in plant protein, B vitamins and fiber.
