Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, ground coriander, dried rosemary, ground black pepper, kosher salt, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Use a whisk or fork to thoroughly mix the ingredients until evenly combined, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar.
Transfer the rub mixture to an airtight container or spice jar for storage if not using immediately. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 4 weeks.
To prepare lamb lollipops, pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and generously rub both sides with the prepared mix, massaging it into the meat.
Let the seasoned lamb lollipops rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Cook the lamb lollipops as desired—grill, pan-sear, or roast—to your preferred doneness. Serve and enjoy!
