Grilled Lamb Chops with Mint Pesto
Lamb is one of my all time fav’s. My idea of heaven is a leg of lamb with old school mint sauce. Here is a fresh alternative that takes no time at all and will get everyone out to those BBQ’s again!
One rack of lamb split into chops can feed two people.
Mint Pesto
1 bunch fresh mint (just leaves)
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/4 good balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup of almonds
1/2 cup fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Blend until coarse but combined.
Pre-heat BBQ to high. Brush lamb with olive oil and season with salt and cracked black pepper. Assemble pesto and set aside. Grill chops to your liking (cooking time depends on the size of your chops/BBQ temperature… so you are on your own, I trust you.) Spoon pesto on to the plate and set the warm chops on top, thus creating a fantastic aroma. Serve with grilled vegetables or toss some boiled potatoes in a bit of pesto as well. In a SNAP. Simple, eh?
