Indulgent Pistachio Crusted Lamb Chops

Today’s Special: Pistachio Crusted Lamb Chops

Hello, fellow foodies! Today, I am thrilled to share with you my latest culinary creation: pistachio crusted lamb chops. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy night in when you’re craving something indulgent and flavorful.

To make these pistachio crusted lamb chops, you will need the following ingredients:

• lamb chops (400g)
• pistachios (100g)
• fresh rosemary (2 sprigs)
• Dijon mustard (2 tbsp)
• honey (1 tbsp)
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)

In terms of kitchen tools, you will need:

• food processor
• baking sheet
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are finely chopped. Add in the fresh rosemary, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper, and pulse until a thick paste forms.

Next, generously season the lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Then, spread the pistachio mixture evenly on top of each lamb chop, pressing it down gently to ensure it sticks.

Place the pistachio crusted lamb chops on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pistachio crust is golden brown and the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Once the lamb chops are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender, flavorful bite.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 500g, with 2 servings. Each serving weighs around 250g, with an approximate calorie count of 400 calories per serving.

One clever tip for this dish is to marinate the lamb chops in the Dijon mustard and honey mixture for a few hours before adding the pistachio crust. This will enhance the flavors and ensure a juicy end result.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring these delicious pistachio crusted lamb chops. Feel free to get creative and make this recipe your own by adding your favorite herbs or spices. Bon appétit!
