This pan-grilled lamb with walnut-mint pesto offers a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy lamb shoulder chops. Marinading the meat with rosemary and crushed garlic ensures every bite is infused with classic Mediterranean flavours, while the searing heat of a frying pan creates a beautifully caramelised crust. The dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in healthy fats, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a diabetes-friendly dinner that feels truly indulgent.
The star of the show is the vibrant green pesto, which swaps traditional pine nuts for toasted walnuts to provide a deeper, earthier crunch. This punchy condiment cuts through the richness of the lamb perfectly. Serve these chops alongside a crisp green salad or some steamed seasonal vegetables for a balanced and wholesome midweek meal that the whole family will enjoy.
