GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH A PISTACHIO SALSA



Grilled Vegetables With a Pistachio Salsa image

What a great condiment for grilled vegetables. Now I am not going to tell you how to grill your vegetables ... outside grill, inside grill, either way. Personally, I do nothing more than olive oil, salt and pepper when I grill mine. This salsa has plenty of flavor. This is served room temp or chilled over the hot grilled vegetables. Eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, potato wedges, and onions are my favorites. Brussels sprouts would also be very good or grilled cabbage wedges.

LAMB CHOPS WITH PISTACHIO SALSA VERDE



Lamb Chops with Pistachio Salsa Verde image

This recipe was inspired by my dad, Mark Boone, who loves lamb chops and pistachios. In this dish, the nuts add richness to a riff on a classic salsa verde. The bright, herby sauce is the perfect accompaniment to grilled lamb chops.
