This recipe is on repeat at our house in the summer. I fire up the grill as often as I can after our long Minnesota winters. These little lamb lollipops cook up quickly and are always a crowd-pleaser. I wrap the bones in foil before grilling to prevent them from burning. Once they are ready, I remove the foil before arranging them on a platter with sprigs of rosemary for serving. Enjoy!
