Boy, have I got a delicious and SIMPLE weeknight meal for you guys today! I’m digging lamb chops because they’re so easy to grill up, and I love pairing them in different ways.

The last time I featured lamb chops on the blog I paired them with some hearty orzo and a tasty balsamic sauce, which was perfect for the fall and winter. Today, in honor of the hopefully impending spring season, I’m sharing a lighter take on lamb chops by pairing them with this simple charred scallion pesto!

Charring the scallions before creating the pesto takes a bit of that onion-y bite away from the scallions, and gives a lovely grilled aroma to the pesto. I also toasted some pine nuts to top the dish off with, and served with a quick orzo side dish. These would go equally well with couscous, pasta, or your favorite veggies!
