Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup merlot
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf fresh parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
1 1/2 lb lamb loin, cleaned
kosher salt
sprigs of thyme, for garnish
piquillo pepper pesto, recipe follows
6 piquillo peppers
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Whisk together the wine, thyme, oil, garlic, black pepper and parsley in a baking dish. Add the lamb and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
Remove the lamb from the marinade 20 minutes before cooking. Heat a grill pan or saute pan over high heat. Season the lamb with salt on both sides and cook until golden brown and seared on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness (internal temperature of 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer). Place on a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a dollop of pesto on the side.
Piquillo Pepper Pesto:
Combine the peppers, pine nuts and garlic in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and process until emulsified. Add the cheese, salt and pepper and pulse a few times to combine.
