Preparation 🥒
Prep the Lamb: Pat the rack of lamb dry with paper towels. Slice into lollipops by cutting between the bones. For a stunning presentation, leave the last chop with two bones.
Season: Drizzle each lollipop with olive oil and season generously with sea salt or truffle salt.
How to Cook 🍳
Sear the Lamb
Heat a large skillet over high heat until it’s sizzling hot.
Sear each lamb lollipop for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Check the internal temperature; for medium-rare, aim for 130°F. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Make the Herb Oil
While the lamb rests, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, and olive oil in a bowl. Mix well.
Finish the Dish
Drizzle the herb oil generously over the lamb lollipops while they rest to infuse them with fresh, fragrant flavor.
