A lot of people think they don’t like lamb.  I don’t either the way some people prepare it!We fixed our “Fred’s Rub” grilled pork chops at a dinner party a couple of months ago and they were a big hit!     At the party , one of our friends walked up to me with lamb chop bone in hand and asked, “what is this?”  I told her it was grilled Fred’s Rub lamb.  She assured me is couldn’t be lamb because she didn’t like lamb and “this is fantastic!”  That’s where we came up with the slogan . . . if you haven’t tried Fred’s Rub Lamb . . . you haven’t really tried lamb!

As for the Fred’s Rub . . . my father-in-law was one of the pioneer grillers back in the 50’s and 60’s.  He came up with a spice mix of garlic powder, seasoned salt and pepper.  To my surprise, it is really quite good on everything from steaks to chops, chicken, veggies and even fish.  You just have to vary the amount you use given the heaviness of the food you are preparing.  In his honor, my husband Pat has put Fred’s Rub together in shaker bottles and labeled it as “Fred’s Rub”.  If you would like to try it, just contact me and for $5.00 plus shipping you too can be a Fred’s Rub addict.

Let’s get grilling!

PREP: 10 MINUTES
GRILL TIME: 5 – 10 MINUTES

Ingredients:

Nice Sized Lamb Chops – about 2” across
“Fred’s Rub”

Directions:

Rinse lamb chops with water and dab the excess water off with a paper towel.
Place the lamb Chops on your favorite cookie sheet or pan
Sprinkle a fairly liberal amount of “Fred’s Rub” over the chops, taking care to completely cover them only on one side.
Place the chops over a medium hot grill (around 300 – 350 degrees) with the “Fred’s Rub” side down.
Allow to sear for 3 – 5 minutes and turn.
Grill on second side until the internal temperature of the chop reaches 140 on an instant read meat thermometer.  This will be medium rare and will produce the best flavor.  Overcooked lamb is the reason so many people “don’t like lamb”!
Remove the lamb chops, wrap in foil and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving!

That’s it!  Aren’t those simple?!  You amy want to try these at your next tailgating party!
