Best Lamb Chops With Pistachio Sauce And Vegetable Saute Recipes
LAMB CHOPS WITH PISTACHIO SALSA VERDE
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.

Steps:
- Make the Pistachio Salsa Verde:
- Pulse shallots, garlic, parsley, mint, pistachios, lemon juice, capers, red pepper flakes, and salt in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Scrape into a medium bowl and stir in oil.
- Cook the lamb chops:
- Season lamb chops with salt and pepper; allow to come to room temperature.
- Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Grill chops, working in batches if needed, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers 125°F for medium-rare, 2-3 minutes per side. Serve with Pistachio Salsa Verde.
- Do Ahead
- Pistachio Salsa Verde can be stored and chilled in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Make sauce: In a blender, puree pistachios with 1/4 cup parsley and 1/3 cup water until smooth (add a bit more water if sauce is too thick); season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Pat-dry lamb with paper towels. Season chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook (in two batches, if necessary) 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Add tomatoes, artichokes, and remaining 1/4 cup water to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until tomatoes begin to soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup parsley. Serve lamb with tomato mixture and pistachio sauce.
- Although they are a little more expensive than other cuts, lamb loin chops are incomparably tender. Take care to cook them properly, preferably to no more than medium-rare (so they remain pink in the center).
PISTACHIO CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB
The pistachio and mustard crust gives this lamb dish an interesting flavor and texture. Sure, rack of lamb is a little pricey, but no more so than other special occasion meats like prime rib, beef tenderloin, or goose. And, because rack of lamb is sold completely trimmed, you'll have virtually no waste.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Generously season each rack of lamb with herbes de Provence, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place lamb in skillet and cook, browning on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer lamb to a foil-lined baking sheet; set aside.
- Stir pistachios, bread crumbs, butter, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl. Spread mustard on the fat-side of each rack of lamb. Pat pistachio mixture on top of mustard. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and lamb is pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
