Lamb Steaks with Pistachio and Rocket Pesto Recipe

• Remove the meat from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
• Dry roast the pistachio nuts briefly in a non-stick frying pan.
• Put the rocket into a blender; add the pistachio nuts and the Parmesan cheese, olive oil and salt and pepper. Blend until you have a chunky pesto sauce.
• Heat up the griddle pan (or a non-stick frying pan). Brush the steaks with remaining olive oil. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side.  Leave to rest for 2 minutes.
• Place a small spoonful of pesto on each of the steaks and serve the rest of the pesto separately. Serve with halved grilled tomatoes and fresh pasta.

Tip: Don't blend your pesto too much; the small pieces of pistachio nuts will add a fabulous crunchy texture that is very different from ready-made pesto sauces.
