Lamb Lollipops Recipe
Eating meat off the bone feels primal in the best way, and these lamb lollipops deliver an exceptional culinary experience with minimal effort. Perfectly seared and bursting with flavor, they make a fantastic carnivore-friendly dish, whether served as a main course or as an elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 frenched rack of lamb about 1½ pounds
- Kosher salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon tallow or other heat-tolerant fat of choice for the pan
Instructions
- Slice between each rib bone of the rack of lamb to separate it into individual chops, creating small "lollipops."
- Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels, then season generously with kosher salt on all sides.
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tallow to the hot skillet, swirling it to coat the surface evenly. Place half the lamb lollipops into the skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness. Avoid touching the chops while searing to ensure a flavorful crust.
- Repeat the process with the remaining lollipops. Serve immediately.
