Preparation 

1
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. 
2
Sear each lamb lollipop for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. 
3
Check the internal temperature; for medium-rare, aim for 130°F. Adjust cooking time as needed. 

Make the Herb Oil 

1
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.
