Indulge in Flavor: Pistachio-Crusted Lamb Chops Recipe

Today’s Special: Pistachio Crusted Lamb Chops

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a one-of-a-kind recipe that’s perfect for a special dinner at home. The combination of savory lamb chops and crunchy pistachios creates a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds begging for more.

Ingredients:

• lamb chops (4, about 200g each)
• pistachios (100g, shelled)
• honey (2 tbsp)
• Dijon mustard (1 tbsp)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• fresh rosemary (1 tbsp, chopped)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• food processor
• saucepan

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are finely chopped. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.

Next, in a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture onto both sides of each lamb chop, then press the chopped pistachios onto the chops to create a crust.

Place the pistachio-crusted lamb chops on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Once the lamb chops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy, tender result.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings in total. Each serving weighs around 200g and is packed with around 400 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to briefly sear the lamb chops in a hot pan before applying the pistachio crust for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

I hope you give this pistachio-crusted lamb chops recipe a try and enjoy every bite! Feel free to customize it with your favorite herbs and spices to make it your own unique creation.
