Categories     main-dish

Time 26m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups packed fresh mint leaves, from about 2 large bunches
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 lemon, zested, plus juice of 1/2 lemon, about 2 tablespoons
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
2 tablespoons water
Freshly cracked black pepper
12 lamb rib chops, Frenched, about 2 pounds

Steps:

  • Put the mint, almonds, zest, and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. With the motor running, add the lemon juice and slowly drizzle in the oil until thick and smooth. Add about 2 tablespoons water until a thick but spreadable paste forms; continue adding water until desired consistency. Taste pesto and season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Generously drizzle the lamb chops with oil and season well with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare; remove to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the grilled chops with mint pesto drizzled over the top.

NEW POTATOES WITH 5-MINUTE MINT PESTO



New Potatoes with 5-Minute Mint Pesto image

This 5-minute mint pesto comes together in no time and perks up new spring potatoes, pasta, turkey sandwiches and even scrambled eggs. I like my pesto chunky, so this recipe uses less oil than most -- and lots of herbs. Mint is a powerhouse of flavor, so it's balanced by quite a lot of fresh parsley and tangy, salty Parmesan.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds small golden- or red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes if larger than 1-inch in diameter (do not peel)
3 cups fresh parsley leaves (see Cook's Note)
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup shelled dry-roasted pistachios
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 cup (2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a medium pot and add cold water to cover; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook until barely fork-tender, 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, put the parsley, mint, pistachios, oil, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor and process until finely minced (see Cook's Note). Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the Parmesan until blended.
  • Toss the pesto with the warm or room-temperature potatoes and serve.
