Directions

  1. Sweet Potatoes:
  2. Preheat the oven to 365 degrees F.

  4. Pesto:
  5. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree.
  6. Goat Cheese Sauce:

  8. Lamb:
  9. Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
  10. Season the lamb with the salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare.
  11. To serve, divide the sweet potatoes onto 4 plates, loosely stacking them towards the center. Position a lamb chop on each stack. Drizzle pesto around the potatoes. Spoon goat cheese sauce over lamb.
