Total Time 2 hours

Equipment

  • Z Grills 11002B Pellet Grill with Wi-Fi
  • Z Grills Cherry Wood Pellets

Ingredients

  • Frenched rack of lamb
  • Dijon mustard
  • Panko bread crumbs
  • Fresh mint
  • Olive oil

For seasoning

  • 1 ¼ cups Kosher salt
  • 2 cups coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated garlic

Instructions

  • Remove the thick fat cap from the top of the lamb rack by making short and shallow strokes with the tip of a boning knife, pulling while you move along.
  • After the fat cap has been removed, trim any silver skin or hard fat, taking care to preserve all of the lamb meat.
  • Sprinkle all sides with SPG seasoning. The recipe can be found below.
  • Fire up your Z Grills on the “smoke” setting, then apply your favorite wood pellets. We recommend the Z Grill Cherry Wood pellets for the best lollipop lamb chops.
  • Smoke the lamb chops until the internal temperature reaches 110F.
  • Remove the lamb chops and allow them to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Once rested, slice the rack into the lamb lollipops.
  • Season your panko bread crumbs with freshly chopped mint and SPG seasoning.
  • Brush each lamb chop with the mustard, taking care to cover all sides, then coat the lamb chops in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat your skillet to 400F to 425F and saute each lamb chop to a perfect brown.
  • Once the breadcrumbs are cooked, the lamb should be a juicy and delicious medium-rare inside.
  • Allow the lamb chops to sit for even more flavor, then serve them up!
