Preparation

Sun-dried Tomato and Canadian Bocconcini Pesto

Mix all pesto ingredients, except the olive oil, in the blender; when the mixture is chopped finely, add the olive oil in a thin stream to form a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.

In a frying pan, sauté garlic and red pepper in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of hot pepper and lemon juice. Cook slowly over a low heat for 7 to 8 minutes.

In a frying pan, fry lamb chops in olive oil. Add salt and pepper.

Divide peppers between 4 plates. Place lamb chops on top and spoon pesto over chops. Serve immediately.
