How to make Lamb Chops with Pistachio Salsa Verde

Pulse shallots, garlic, parsley, mint, pistachios, lemon juice, capers, red pepper flakes, and salt in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Scrape into a medium bowl and stir in oil.

Season lamb chops with salt and pepper; allow to come to room temperature.

Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Grill chops, working in batches if needed, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the lamb registers 52°C for medium-rare, 2–3 minutes per side. Serve with Pistachio Salsa Verde.

Pistachio Salsa Verde can be stored and chilled in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
