MMM definately one of my fav things to fix lately because it can be dressed up or dressed down!

~Lamb Chop Rub~

(this rub is enough for 6 large chops!)

2 Tbsp of onion powder

2 Tbsp of garlic powder

1 tsp of sea salt

2 tsp of freshly ground pepper

1 tsp of spicey hot chilli powder

1/2 of ginger powder

1 Tbsp of brown sugar

Mix all the ingredients into a jar/bowl and mix, take your chops of choice :) drizzle one side of the chop and sprinkle the rub over top do this on both sides and place into an extremely hot pan to seal in the juices! Depending on how rare or well done you like your meat depends on cooking time!

This rub is a little sweet and some what spicey :) just the way we like it in our family!
