Lamb T-Bone with squash salad and spinach pesto

Lamb T-Bone with squash salad and spinach pesto



Ingredients:



4-8 lamb chops (t-bones)



Olive oil, as needed



Salt and pepper, as needed



½ lb. bacon, rough chopped



¼ onion, finely diced



3 cloves roasted garlic



½ c. dried cherries



¼ c. Parmesan cheese



1 c. chicken stock



3 cups baby kale



Spinach pesto, as needed



Directions:



Season the lamb with salt and pepper and rub with olive oil. Let sit at room temp until ready to cook.



To make the stew, render the bacon in a heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat just until crispy. Add the onion, garlic and cherries and sauté, stirring often until softened. Add the garbanzo beans and stir. Add the chicken stock and parmesan and simmer until starts to thicken. Stir in the baby kale right before serving so the leaves just wilt and don't overcook.



When ready sear the chops in a hot pan or grill them.



To plate place a spoonful of the spinach pesto on the plate and spoon some garbanzo beans over. Top with the Lamb Chop.
