Instructions
- Liberally sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and salt. Add the olive oil and whisk until combined.
- Pour the marinade over the chops and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile make the pesto. Add the mint, parsley, pistachios, parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, and 4 tablespoonsof cold water to a blender. Blend on medium speed until the pesto is mostly smooth. Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to thin the pesto and help it blend.
- When ready to cook the chops, heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, or turn your grill on medium-high heat for direct heat grilling.
- Sear the chops (in batches if using a hot skillet) until browned on both sides, about a total of 4 to 5 minutes for medium to medium-rare.
- Transfer to a platter and squeeze a lemon wedge over the top.
