INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare chops: Cut lamb tenderloins from bones & trim all fat.
(Save bones & meat scraps for soup.) Roll out puff pastry into
rectangle 1/8" thick. Trim edges so they are straight & reserve
scraps. Cut pastry into 12 rectangles, each large enough to enclose a
lamb medallion. To make pesto: Place mint, garlic, oil & salt in bowl
of food processor & puree. To assemble: Place 1 piece lamb at bottom
of each rectangle & top with 1 heaping Tbls. pesto. Fold dough over to
enclose lamb & crimp edges tightly. Cut out 24 mint-leaf shapes from
scraps of dough. Affix 2 leaves with beaten egg to top of each dough
package. Brush each pack lightly with beaten egg & place on baking
sheet. Bake at 425 until meat is done & pastry is golden brown, about
10 minutes for rare, 15 minutes for med rare. If you want well done,
reduce oven temperature to 350 after 5 minutes & bake 15 minutes more.
Garnish with mint leaves. Chops File
