INGREDIENTS: 
4 small-medium racks of lamb 

Rub 
2 dried guajillo chiles, seeds removed and blended to a powder 
1 beef bouillon cube, minced 
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika
Black pepper
Maldon salt

Tools
Cutting board 
Knife
Instant read thermometer
Small bowl 
Grill  
Blender or food processor 

DIRECTIONS:

  1. To make the rub, combine the guajillo chile powder and minced beef bouillon in a small bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper and Maldon salt to taste. Mix well. 
  2. Slice the lamb in between each of the bones to create the lamb lollipops. 
  3. Thoroughly coat each lollipop with the dry rub. Refrigerate for at least a few hours to let the flavors settle in. 
  4. When ready to cook, preheat grill to medium-high. Grill the lamb for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. (125°F for med-rare, 145°F for med-well.) 
  5. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
