Broke down an Aussie rib rack into 2 bone chops.  Hot and fast to 125.  Served with homemade pesto and pesto mashers.  My much better half had grilled shrimp pesto pasta.  I killed that rack.  The lamb with the pesto was amazing.  Thanks for lookin'.

    I love grilled lamb chops, and you did these extreme justice, Brent.

    Well done!

    Beautiful color on the chops. I plan to steal the idea of putting pesto in the mashed potatoes. For the potatoes - just make normal mashed 'taters and then add pesto?
    If you had a diamond plate you could go on TV my friend.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Normal except reduce the fat (butter) by half as the olive oil in the pesto replaces it.  They are delicious my friend.  Thank you.

    I wasn't very specific brother Sci.  For pesto mashers that we like, it's two healthy teaspoons of pesto per medium potato.

    @bgebrent That's plenty of explanation and it makes perfect sense. Thank you for clarifying though.

    Amazing cook, and love the idea of lamb and pesto. We have some wild garlic leaf pesto left from the batch SWMBO made, I'll give that a go.
