Welsh Lamb Chops with Pesto Sauce and Pembrokeshire Blas y Tir Potatoes
 |
| Welsh Lamb Chops with Pesto Sauce |
This is such a quick and easy tasty dish that is ready in about 20 minutes. The lamb chops I bought in my local butcher in Denbigh, J.H. Jones. The potatoes are supplied by a Pembrokeshire company called Blas y Tir (Taste of the Earth) and the runner beans are from my own garden. The pesto sauce even though Italian in origin goes exceptionally well with the lamb.
I added a marinade to the lamb about two hours before and this helps to keep it moist whilst under the grill.
Marinade
2tbs Soy Sauce
1 tbs Rapeseed Oil - I used a local brand Blodyn Aur.
1/2 tbs lemon Juice
Pour the marinade over the chops and use your hands to mix together well. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for two hours.
6 Welsh lamb chops marinaded for two hours
Pesto Sauce
50g Pine nuts150ml of olive oil
large bunch of basil leaves
50g of grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves of garlic pealed and roughly chopped
Place all the ingredients in a food blender and blitz until you have a sauce type consistence
Place the chops under a grill for about 8 to 10 minutes turning half way through. Time will vary depending on size and thickness of the chops. When ready place on a plate with new potatoes and runner beans or any other vegetable of your choice and drizzle over the pesto sauce.
