Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops. Look for chops that are firm to the touch and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid chops that are too thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Cook the lamb chops to your desired doneness. Lamb chops can be cooked rare, medium-rare, or medium. If you are unsure how to cook lamb chops, use a meat thermometer to ensure that they are cooked to your liking.
  • Make sure the pesto is well-blended. A good pesto should be smooth and creamy. If your pesto is too thick, add a little bit of olive oil or water until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serve the lamb chops immediately. Lamb chops are best served hot off the grill. If you need to hold them for a while, keep them warm in a low oven or on a warming tray.
