Directions
  1. Open a bottle of Vina Robles The Arborist, and pour yourself a glass.
  2. Create marinade: Stir first five ingredients together until blended. Add olive oil and lamb chops and place in refrigerator for up to two hours.

  4. Process pistachios in a food processor or crush to your liking. Stir into sauce and cook for an additional two minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Place lamb chops on preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lamb reached an internal temperature of 145°F (for medium-rare).
  6. Serve sauce over lamb chops and enjoy together with the rest of the The Arborist.
