2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 onion,chopped
2 handfuls of spinach

2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon chilli powder
2 cloves garlic
1/2 fresh chilli,chopped
olive oil for frying

Directions

1) Wash and rinse lamb chops with lemon juice and water.

2) Flavour the lamb chops with salt,sugar,onions,paprika,garam masala,chilli powder and galric n a big bowl.

3) Using a blender blend the spinach and almonds with 2 tablespoons of olive oil

4) Once blended add 1/2 the almond spinach pesto to the lamb chops and stir. Making sure to refrigerate the other half.
