minutesIngredients
1 Rack of Lamb (I prefer New Zealand Lamb)
3-4 cloves of garlic
Rosemary
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to Taste
2 Tbsp Butter
Directions
- Preheat Oven to 425.
Start first by trimming the fat cap of the lamb. I like to French my lamb in order to get a good clean Lollipop. See Images below. - Next in a food processor add garlic, olive oil, fresh rosemary and process till chopped finely. Spread the mixture over the Rack of Lamb and allow to sit (the longer the better).
Then add salt and fresh ground pepper - Cutting small strips of aluminum foil wrap each bone to prevent burning in the oven.
- Pre heat a large cast iron pan on med-high heat. Placing the fatty side down first sear each side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown
- Add butter and rosemary to pan and move to preheated oven and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 125-130 degrees for Med-Rare. Occasionally baste the lamb with the butter and lamb drippings
- Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice between each bone to make lamb lollipops and serve and Enjoy
Notes
- This recipe goes great with sauce if you have a lamb or veal demi glaze. Also this can be cooked on the grill just make sure to check the temperature often to make sure you don’t overcook.
