Featured Ingredients

For the spice rub:

• Cumin
• Coriander
• Paprika
• Turmeric
• Ginger
• Cinnamon
• Black pepper
• Allspice
• Cayenne
• Cloves

For the lamb:

• Rack of lamb: Have the butcher cut a rack of lamb into lollipops, or buy them already cut.
• Olive oil: It's the perfect flavor for this recipe and can withstand high heat cooking.

Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Place lamb lollipops on a baking sheet and evenly coat with spice rub on all sides.
3. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet to medium or medium-high heat.
4. Work in batches to pan-fry lamb lollipops, about 2-3 minutes per side, just until browned and crispy on both sides.
5. Lollipops are best cooked medium-rare to medium (140-145 degrees).

Recipe Substitutions and Alterations

  • If you don't have the individual spices, try a pre-made spice rub that has similar spices.
• To alter the heat: Use as much or as little cayenne pepper as you like.
