Dad’s Day dining he’s bound to love

Father’s Day is an opportunity to shower Dad with extra love and attention. Special outings and heartfelt gifts typically are part of the celebration. Some children may want to go above and beyond by whipping up a meal that Dad is sure to enjoy with particularly a father who spends his fair share of time by the stove or in front of the grill.

Individuals may be quick to think steaks or chicken when considering grilled fare, and these foods certainly can be delicious offerings. However, juicy and flavorful lamb also tastes great when cooked on the grill. This recipe for “Lamb Chop Lollipops with Jalape–o Mustard” from “Jon Bonnell’s Texas Favorites” (Gibbs Smith) can be eaten by hand right off the bone when tailgating with Dad or served more traditionally at home with the family.

Lamb Chop Lollipops with Jalape–o Mustard

Serves 6-8

2 frenched* racks of lamb (8 bones each)

1 sprig fresh rosemary

2 tablespoons Chinese hot mustard

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

Jalape–o Mustard

1 sprig fresh rosemary

8 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 fresh jalape–o, seeded and diced

Juice of 1 lemon

* Frenched refers to meat cut away to expose part of the bone.

Rinse the racks of lamb lightly under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels, then cut into individual chops by cutting between the bones. Strip the rosemary leaves from the stem and chop; discard the stem. Combine the hot mustard with the garlic, salt, pepper, oil, and half of the chopped rosemary. Rub the lamb chops with this mixture and let them marinate in the fridge for 2 hours before grilling. Grill or broil the lamb chops quickly to desired doneness. Serve hot with Jalape–o Mustard as a dipping sauce.

For the Jalape–o Mustard: Strip the rosemary leaves from the stem and chop; discard the stem. Combine the rosemary with the Dijon mustard, jalape–o, and lemon juice.
