Add some Egyptian flair to your cooking with these flavourful and delicious lamb chops rubbed with pistachio dukkah. This recipe is ready and on the table in a manner of minutes. Serve them with yoghurt or tahini sauce if you like.
Pistachio dukkah, a coarse, toasted Egyptian blend of nuts, sesame seeds, and spices—brings the crunch, flavour and fun to any dish you make—for dunking bread, seasoning meats, topping salads, eggs and vegetable. The possibilities for its use are just endless. Keep dukkah in an airtight jar in the pantry for a couple of weeks, or the fridge for a month or so.
| Pistachio Dukkah | Lamb chops |
- 20 g Sesame seeds
- 30 g Pistachio kernels, finely chopped
- 1½ tsp Ground coriander
- 1½ tsp Ground cumin
- ¼ tsp Freshly milled black pepper
- ½ tsp Sea salt
|
- 12 Lamb chops
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 200 g Snow peas, trimmed
- 250 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Mint leaves, chopped
- Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
|
- Place the sesame seeds in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until toasted and golden. Add the pistachio, coriander, cumin and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Stir in the salt and set aside to cool.
- Trim the snow peas and cut the tomatoes into half.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Rub the lamb chops with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with ¾ of the pistachio dukkah.
- Cook lamb chops in batches for 2-3 minutes each side for medium or to your liking. Set aside, loosely covered, to rest.
- While lamb is resting, add snow peas to the skillet. Cook, tossing, for 3-5 minutes or until bright green and crunchy. Taste and season.
- Serve the lamb chops with the snow peas and cherry tomatoes, and if desired, with a yoghurt dressing. Garnish with chopped mint leaves and remaining dukkah.

Pistachios have been all the rage in recent two years.
ReplyDelete...Pistachio is a nice addition!
ReplyDeleteExcellent dish, interesting recipe, I really love pistachios in all ways.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be making this very soon. It sounds and looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAhora no puedo comer cordero pero me imagino que esta cobertura de pistacho también le irá bien a otras carnes o incluso pescados. Parece muy rica.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to toast your spices and make them from scratch, rather than using store bought dukkah! Yum pistachio- I think I could eat the dukkah by itself (well, maybe not) ha ha!
ReplyDeleteThese sound amazing! My favorite meat flavored with a rub made from my favorite nut? That's what I call delicious. I've been doing a lot of outdoor grilling lately and I may try grilling the chops rather than pan frying them.
ReplyDeleteHello Angie,
ReplyDeleteAnother yummy recipe, the pistachios are a great addition.
Take care, have a great day!
Yummy
ReplyDeleteOh, Angie, I really love lamb chops! These look scrumptious!!!

Those sure do look good!
ReplyDeleteWow, this dish is certainly a show stopper! I just love the colour of the Pistachios. Lamb has become so expensive here that I have stopped purchasing it unless it is on sale. What is even more strange, is the New Zealand lamb is less expensive than Ontario lamb.
ReplyDeleteI love cooking with Dukkah! Such interesting flavors. My husband would love to be invited to have some of this beautiful recipe.
ReplyDeleteLamb here tends to be expensive so I tend to buy it when there are 'special offers' but this looks a great recipe, definitely one to keep in mind ... many thanks Angie.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I love lamb and this looks and sounds almost perfect. Bookmarking!
ReplyDeleteI bet that pistachio is not only tasty but adds a bit of crunch too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a delicious recipe, and the pistachios give it that perfect crunch!.😋
ReplyDeleteExcellent combination with pistachio...yum!
ReplyDeleteI must try this version of dukkah. Sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I were eating pistachios for a snack earlier. They have been his favorite nut his whole life. Looks like another great meal!
ReplyDeleteThat just made me so hungry
ReplyDeleteYummy, Angie.
ReplyDeleteI love the recipe for the dukkah — I can definitely see it on the lamb chops, plus many other things. Excellent recipe, Angie.
ReplyDeleteLooks really good but I'd have to replace the lamb. Not a fan of lamb.
ReplyDeleteThe seasoning on these lamb chops must be delicious.
ReplyDeleteAngie, I love a good lamb chop! These look amazing.

Dukkah is similar to zaatar I think. When zaatar includes pine nuts it has pistachios
ReplyDeleteIt's all about pistachios these days! And I love pistachios.
