Notes
- Ask your butcher for pre-cut lamb lollipops. This is much easier than cutting up a whole rack of lamb.
- This cooking time is for 1 inch thick lamb. You may need to cook it slightly longer.
- The chops are rare at 120 degrees Fahrenheit, medium rare at 125 degrees Fahrenheit, medium at 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and well done at 145 degrees Fahrenheit and over.
- Use a meat thermometer to measure internal tempeature.
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
