Lamb
2.50 American bone-in t-bone lamb loin chops
0.50 Olive oil
0.25 cup Coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tbsp Red wine vinegar
2 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tsp Freshly grated lemon zest
2 tsp Kosher salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
Cilantro Pesto
12 Pitted green olives
1.75 Coarsely chopped fresh basil
0.33 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
0.67 cup Grated parmesan cheese
1 cup Coarsely chopped fresh basil
3 Garlic cloves, minced

1.75 tsp Salt
0.33 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
Herbed Feta
0.50 lb Feta in brine
0.50 cup Coarsely chopped cilantro
1 tsp Grated lemon zest
1For the grilled lamb, whisk together all of the ingredients except the lamb to create the marinade. Place the lamb in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate. Allow to marinate at least 4 hours or overnight.
2For the cilantro pesto, blend all of the ingredients except the olive oil in a blender or food processor starting at medium low speed. Add the olive oil while blending in a steady thin stream until incorporated. Blend until the mixture is relatively smooth, like hummus.
3For the herbed feta, crumble the feta in a medium bowl, then toss with the cilantro and lemon zest.
4To prepare, heat your grill to medium. Remove the lamb from the marinade and grill until browned on each side – approximately 3-4 minutes per side until desired doneness.
