lamb lollipops

Lamb lollipops are marinated then seared in a hot pan for a few minutes until lightly charred and incredibly delicious. They are simple to make yet the flavor is outstanding. We like ours with an easy mint pesto for dipping! 

Lamb Lollipops with Mint Pesto

lamb

mint

olive oil

lemon juice

EACH: honey, sea salt, and pepper

garlic cloves, very finely minced

parsley

pistachios

parmesan

garlic clove, smashed

water

Prep

Cut the racks of lamb into individual ribs. 

Marinate

In a large mixing bowl, mix the mint leaves, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and garlic. Add the lamb and mix with your hands so that each rib is lightly coated in the marinade. Put the bowl into your fridge and let the lamb marinate for 2-24 hours. (See notes)

Pesto

Make the pesto. Add the mint, parsley, pistachios, parmesan, garlic, and 4 tablespoons of cold water to your blender. Blend on medium speed (see notes) until the pesto is mostly smooth. Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to thin the pesto and help it blend.

Cook

Remove the lamb from the marinade and brush off any mint leaves. Heat a large cast iron or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is very hot, add half of the lamb lollipops and cook for 2 minutes on each side. If you like your lamb well done, let it cook for 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining lamb. 

Serve

Serve the lamb lollipops with the mint pesto on the side for dipping.
