Instructions
0 Pat the lamb chops dry and season generously on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Let sit at room temperature while preparing the pesto. 1 In a blender, food processor, or by hand, combine the mint, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend or finely chop until loose and spoonable. Taste and adjust seasoning. 2 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of olive oil. 3 Add the lamb chops in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. 4 Transfer to a plate and let rest for a few minutes. 5 Spoon the mint pesto over the lamb chops or serve alongside before serving.View original recipe
