Steps:
- For the salsa verde: In a medium bowl, add the parsley, olive oil, mint, pistachios, capers, lemon juice and salt and stir with a rubber spatula until combined. Set aside to let the flavors marry.
- For the lamb: Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Dry the lamb chops well with a paper towel and season with the salt. Brush the grill with olive oil and grill the chops for 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove to a plate to rest for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the chops with some of the sauce and serve the remaining sauce alongside.
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.

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.

LAMB CHOPS AND VEGETABLES IN FOIL
My favorite recipe. I've been making it for 40 years, and everyone seems to like it. It's fun to make and to serve. Even people who don't like or have never tried lamb like this.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place 1 piece of heavy duty aluminum foil vertically on a work surface and 1 large piece aluminum foil horizontally on top, large enough to cover 1 lamb chop and vegetables..
- Place 1 lamb chop in the middle of the aluminum foil and rub with 1/2 tablespoon garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Repeat with remaining chops.
- Stack zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, and onion on top of each lamb chop. Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Top each with 1 square of feta cheese. Tightly seal each package by wrapping the first piece of foil around the meat and vegetables, followed by the second.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lamb is cooked but still pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Serve each person their own individual parcel.

Pistachios and lamb are often paired in Greek cooking. Tomatoes, artichokes, and parsley-other common ingredients-combine to create a flavorful accompaniment.

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).
SPICE-RUBBED LAMB CHOPS (PAN SAUTEED)
I had ripped this out of a magazine. At the top of the page it says Fit To Eat. This uses ingredients I have on hand and and it serves 2, which is 1 chop a person. I like more in my serving unless I'm on a diet! Recipe suggests a side of cauliflower roasted with ginger and mint.

Steps:
- Stir together the thyme, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt in a small bowl; season with pepper.
- Put lamb on a plate and rub each side with the spice mixture; let stand from 10 minutes to an hour.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a medium heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Add chops and reduce heat to medium.
- Cook chops, flipping halfway through, until deeply browned, about 10 minutes for medium-rare.
- Transfer each chop to a serving plate.
- Divide arugula between plates and drizzle with the remaining teaspoons of oil.
Tips:
- To ensure the lamb chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The ideal temperature for medium-rare lamb chops is 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have pistachio nuts, you can substitute them with pine nuts or almonds.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of water in the vegetable sauté.
- If you want a crispier crust on the lamb chops, sear them in a hot skillet for a few minutes before baking them in the oven.
- Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
