Recipe: lamb chops with pistachio crust

Pistachio crunch and honey give these chops a festive touch. Making them for your date? Be romantic and scatter some dried rose petals over them.

Method
1. Roast the pistachios in a dry frying pan, leave them to cool and chop finely. Place the chopped pistachios on a plate.

2. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and marinate the chops in it for at least 30 minutes.

3. Remove the chops from the marinade, pat them lightly dry and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Grill the chops for 1–2 minutes per side in a hot grill pan or on the hot zone of the barbecue. Use a brush to coat the rounded side of the chops with honey. Press them into the nuts and serve.
