Ingredients
  • 1 pound lamb, backstrap/loin or chops
  • 1 cup packed mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup raw almonds
  • olive oil
Preparation Instructions
  1. Place the mint, salt, pepper and almonds in a food processor and pulse until chopped.
  2. Run the processor while drizzling olive oil in. Pour enough in to make a thick paste.
  3. Place the meat and the pesto in a ziptop bag and refrigerate at least 24 hours, 48 hours is even better.
  4. When you are ready to cook you can either grill it over high heat until desired doneness is achieved or stick it on a roasting stick over a camp fire. We like medium rare (about 140˚) so over the grill took about 10 minutes total but this will depend on what cut you are using and how thick it is. My recommendation is to make use of your meat thermometer.
