Ingredients:

  • 6g green tea bbq seasonings
  • 2 lamb breasts, silver skin removed
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts), roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Lamb Breasts:

  • Start by seasoning the lamb breasts with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the nut crust.

Make the Nut Crust:

  • In a shallow dish, combine the chopped mixed nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and finely chopped rosemary. Mix well to create a coarse, crumbly mixture that will serve as the crust for the lamb.

Coat the Lamb:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While the oil is heating, press the nut mixture onto both sides of each lamb breast, ensuring an even coating.

Cook the Lamb:

  • Carefully place the coated lamb breasts into the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the nut crust is golden brown and crispy.

Rest the Lamb:

  • Remove the lamb breasts from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy lamb.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Slice the lamb breasts against the grain and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for a pop of color and freshness.

Enjoy Your Nut-Crusted Lamb Breast:

  • Serve your delicious nut-crusted lamb breast as a main course. The combination of tender, juicy lamb, the crunchy nut crust, and the unique flavors of green tea bbq seasonings creates a delightful and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a dinner party. Enjoy!
