Lamb Lollipops

Last night I was at a reception and Lamb Chop Lollipops were served. This is an easy and fun way to serve lamb, great for dinner parties. Here is my recipe

Ingredients
Rack of Lamb
1 cup Olive Oil
3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Rosemary
1 tablespoon Oregano
1 tablespoon Basil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Create a marinade by combining the Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Rosemary, Oregano, Basil, Salt and Pepper. Stir together and then rub the marinade onto the lamb, should be enough to cover 2-3 whole racks. Place foil over the bones to prevent charring and then place the lamb in a baking dish. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until internal temp is 160, do not over cook. Pull out the lamb and allow the rack to sit for 10-15 minutes and remove the foil. Cut straight between the bones to create the individual lollipops and serve.

Just a few notes about this dish, I am a big fan of rare lamb, however this recipe should cook the lamb to medium which makes this dish easier to serve. As in all my recipes I prefer using fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs when the fresh are not available. You should plan on at least 2 lollipops a person, I once ate over 20. When serving make sure the bone is facing up so it makes it easy for your guest to grab it and eat it, no fork and knife needed.
