I had a "tasting" cocktail party for my daughters birthday. This recipe was on the menu and it was the last dish served before dessert. "OMG" it was such a big hit. Everyone was asking "how did you make those lampchops?" They were restaurant worthy.

A sensational way to prepare lamb ... by far my favorite at this moment in time (but I am always on the lookout. I have made it with and without the mint pesto ... both are great but I may actually prefer it without.

Fabulous but did not make the mint pesto. These are terrific without anything added. Served with an eggplant gratin made with tomatoes, cayenne and alllspice baked with a ricotta, egg, parmesan cream sauce. The best combination I think I have ever had with lamb.

I Love Lamb chops-just plain, but this recipe added an interesting zip to the lamb. I used shoulder chops, tasted great. Next time I will use more mint in the pesto-it was a bit overpowered by the other spices. The marinade worked out fantastic. Will def. make again.

I highly recommend this recipe. I also served Reese's Jellied Mint Sauce with it. Not only was it delicious but it was easy to prepare. Thanks Emeril!

I don't really care for lamb, but I couldn't stop eating theae chops. I started eating the chops without the pesto and they were wonderful. The pesto took them to the next level. These are awesome chops. I'll be makeing this recipe often!!!

we've made these a bunch of times, and they are so delicious! make exactly as specified -- I don't adjust anything, except I don't use pine nuts in the pesto.

Tips:

(1 If you don't weight the mint, it is about 1 large bunch. Saw online 1/2 oz of herbs is about 1/4 cup or 2 tbsp, so the 3 oz of mint is 3/4 cup.

(2 The mint is never flavorful enough to overpower the cheese or garlic, so I'm thinking next time of using mint essential oil to augment the mint flavor.

(3 while you could grill on an indoor electric or stovetop grill, we love the smokiness of our hardwood charcoal (weber grill. just watch out for the flare ups by covering the grill and ensuring very little oil from the marinade is dripping off the meat when you put it on the grill. Better to grill for longer on lower heat coals than too high and end up with very rare charred lamb -- one time I did this, and my wife who won't eat anything burnt even at them cause the pesto was so good and she didn't want to throw away $40 of meat, lol.

by the way, we eat the whole recipe ourselves (2 people and don't pair with any appetizers or sides. This dish is a stand alone!
