Grilled Lamb With Pistachio Sauce

Ingredients

large zip-top bag
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon crushed rosemary 
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 (1 1/4-inch-thick) lamb loin chops [about 2 lb]
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup pistachio nuts



Steps

  1. Combine in large zip-top bag, pepper, thyme, rosemary, fennel seed, and salt; shake until blended. Add olive oil and lamb chops (wash hands); seal bag tightly. Turn bag to evenly coat lamb chops. Place in refrigerator and let stand 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to marinate.
  2. Preheat grill. Combine in medium saucepan, remaining ingredients (except pistachios). Bring to a boil on medium-high. Reduce heat on sauce to simmer; cook 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, process pistachios in food processor (or spice grinder) until ground finely. Stir into sauce; cook 2 more minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Place lamb chops on grill (wash hands and discard marinade); grill 3–4 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. Serve sauce over lamb chops.
