Ingredients

12 lamb rib chops, fat removed and frenched - (can be bought from a butcher ready prepared as a short cut)

2 garlic cloves, crushed

4 teaspoons pesto

Salt and pepper

1 Tablespoons olive oil for frying

STUFFING

4 Tablespoons basil pesto

50 g pine nuts, toasted and very roughly chopped

pinch of salt

Method

Make a slit on the side prepared chops using a sharp carving or pairing knife.

2. Mix the garlic, pesto, salt and pepper together, and rub each chop on both sides.

3. Using a teaspoon mix the stuffing ingredients together and stuff a teaspoonful in each chop. The roughly chopped pine nuts will give a surprise crunch

4. Heat a large non-stick pan and add the oil until sizzling hot. Place the chops and cook for 3 minutes on each side or a medium or less if you like it more rare.

5. Cover with foil and set aside to rest until serving time.
