........another screech of the breaks and I pulled into the side of the road to capture the view we see here! These green pastures are part of the Goyt Valley. Photograph taken late on Sunday afternoon. Not much walking today, mostly driving, you will be pleased to hear! ....unless you are worried about women drivers! haha!

Rack of Lamb with Mint-Basil Pesto
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 (1 1/2-pounds each) racks of lamb, trimmed and frenched

Blend the mint, basil, nuts, cheese, lemon juice, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a food processor until the herbs are finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually blend in 1/3 cup of oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Generously sprinkle the lamb racks with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a grill pan or heavy large skillet over high heat. Place 1 lamb rack in the skillet and cook just until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the lamb rack meat side up on a heavy large baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 lamb racks.

Roast the lamb in the oven until cooked to desired doneness, about 20 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the lamb racks to a work surface. Set aside for 10 minutes. Cut the lamb between the bones into single chops. Spread the pesto over 1 cut side of each chop. Arrange the chops, pesto side up, on plates or a platter, and serve.

RECOMMENDED WINE: Boroli Barolo 1998

Mmmmmmm!!

Sorry...couldn't resist!!

A delicious capture Patti!! Nice details and range of view!!
