The wife and I go to a restaurant that makes a lamb pita with pesto, so I thought I'd come up with my own version. I came up with this. Semi-boneless leg of lamb and a few seasonings.

Into the pellet grill at 350*.

While that starts, I pulled the ingredients together for the pesto. Basil out of the garden, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and parmesan cheese.

With that done, I started a sweet potato pie.

With that ready to go in, I pulled the leg out and got the braising liquid together.

This qualifies as some delicious comfort food, so I guess I'll enter it in the TD going on. Thanks for looking, and enjoy the rest of your weekends.
