Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients: 8 frenched lamb rib chops (about 2 pounds); Olive oil, for brushing; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; Mint Pesto, recipe follows; 2 cups fresh mint leaves; 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped; 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and cooled; 2 cloves garlic; 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan; 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; Freshly ground black pepper; 2 teaspoons lemon zest

Directions

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the lamb chops with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chops 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove the chops to a plate and let rest 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
Place the chops on a platter and pour any juices that accumulated back over the chops. Spoon the Mint Pesto over and serve.

Mint Pesto:

Add the mint, basil, walnuts, garlic, red pepper and Parmesan to a food processor. Pulse until the herbs are finely chopped. With the motor running, add the olive oil in a steady stream. Add the salt, pepper and lemon zest and pulse until combined. Set aside with plastic wrap set directly over the surface.
