Lamb Chops with Pistachio Crust
Dynamite combo. Crushed pistachios add flavor and a delightfully crunchy crust to lamb chops. My hubby worked in catering for a long time, and he reminisces nostalgically about the pistachio-crusted baby lamb chops they used to serve. Baby lamb chops are tender and delicious, but to make enough for 4 people would take more than 15 minutes. However, if you have the time, roll up your sleeves and use the baby chops. You will need about 3-4 per person.
